Ya know, I have seen kids cart around pretty strange stuffed animals.
I chuckled one day as one of our youngsters came out of the playroom swinging a stuffed armadillo buy the tail. We have some very random but cute stuffed animals. People constantly comment about how our children know specific animal names and the details about them…bur a few weeks ago as we visited the Creation Museum in Petersburg KY, one of our munchkins (weasel to be exact) decided to spend his five dollar gift from friends on this cutie….(who would’ve thought I would ever say a mammoth was cute!?!)
Later weasel and I had a conversation about Wooley ( how original right?)
I said ” how do you know it’s not a mastodon instead of a mammoth?”
He paused and thought.
Then said ” cuz his back slopes”
And I was quickly taken back to earlier that day as we sat and listened to Buddy Davis explain all about Ice Age animals in his workshop! How amazing that this little boy who sees the world in such a different way and seemingly focused on other things retains most of what is being said!
This same little boy is the one who rushed Buddy Davis the previous day after his concert…….a superstar in his eyes….and that is quite ok by me!
SIDE NOTE: ALL of our kids struggled the first day at the museum when referring to the mammoth skeleton as the “HOLY MAMMOTH”
I love my kids!
