Previous conversations with Declan:
Me: We're off like a herd of turtles (said almost every time we leave the house!)
Declan: Why are we off like a herd of turtles?
Me: Because turtles are so slow and it takes us so long to leave the house, so we are slow like turtles.
Declan: We're not slow! (indignant) We're fast - like a herd of cheetahs!!
Today's conversation;
Me: We're off like a herd of cheetahs!
Declan: Do cheetahs like cheese?
Me: (smiling) Probably, although that's not what they normally eat.
Declan: What DO they eat?
Me: Meat!
Declan (after a moment) Are they carnivores?
Me: Yes! (delighted) They are carnivores. They eat meat, so they are carnivores!
Declan: Do you know what else is a carnivore? T-Rex! I'm going to tell my dinosaur teacher about cheetahs!
(Declan took a little mini-camp about dinosaurs this summer)
He's something else!! :)
