The kids were being a little irritating while I was making dinner tonight, so I teased, "You know, some species eat their young."
TT said, "Yeah, Jenna got a hamster for Christmas and it had babies and some of them had stuff wrong with them so it ate them!"
So SS said, "So since the door to TT's heart doesn't close all the way*, if we were hamsters Mommy would have eaten her. I'm glad mommy's not a hamster and that she didn't eat [TT]."
I replied, "Yeah, but I love TT so much that even if I was a hamster I wouldn't have eaten her."
Yeah, my family's kinda weird.
* TT has pulmonary valve stenosis. It is very mild and her doc doesn't anticipate that it will cause her any problems, but it does require annual visits to the cardiologist and antibiotics before dental work.

Aw, that's sweet, though. And educational. Plus, you were hungry, what with the cooking the food and all.
