Sea Turtles

A recent conversation in the van with Jackson (almost 5) went something like this:

Jackson: I guess the birds could not make it back to their nest, so that is why they pooped on our window.

Me: So, do birds have potties in their nests?

Jackson: Yes, I think so.

Me: Well, no honey. Birds do not have potties like we do, they just go where ever they want to.

Jackson: Birds poop eggs too.

Me: No, not really.

Jackson: Yes they do.

Me: No, I promise they don't. (Now I could have just stopped right there, but then I would have missed what happened next.) Poop comes from their bottoms, eggs don't. (Ha! I side stepped that one.) Birds don't poop eggs.

Jackson: Sea turtles do.

Me: No, Jackson, they don't.

Jackson: Well, Momma I guess you've never seen a Sea Turtle.

Do you at least know how old they are? :-) (surely there are Nemo lovers in your house!)

That Jackson is a thinker. I guess still waters sre not the only ones that run deep!
