adults say the darnedest things

Slice of real life: Being a mere mortal in a house of geniuses (or is it genii?): The boys are eating their desserts in the dining room, as I sit with them and read babycenter.com. Out of the blue I ask Ethan to tell me the difference between KFC and Domino's. He does it (and quickly, I might add), and Cort says from the kitchen, "Why are you asking him this?" And I told him that I was reading about what an 8 1/4 year old should know on the website it states they should be: "Describing different food chains". Then there's this horrible pause and Cort walks into the dining room and says, "Corey, are you serious?" At the same time, Ethan says, "Isn't a food chain like I eat a cow, a cow eats grass, a grass eats nutrition from dirt, and so on and so forth?" So I guess an 8 year old should know it, but as for me... Oh well.

A few slice of life snapshots:

This is more like it.
