Another Actual Conversation with a Three-Year-Old

This commercial came on television earlier:



Andrew and I were watching it.

Andrew: Hippos don't live in houses.

(I should mention that hippos are a favourite animal in this house, because of Not the Hippopotamus and I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas.)

Me (thinking how smart my kid is): No, that's what the commercial is about - how not everything on tv is real, and you have to be able to decide what's real or not.

Andrew: Hippos don't live in church, either. God does.

Well, all right then.
