the things They Say

On a nice day, we often go for a walk that includes a stop at the "creek" down the way to throw rocks.

Yesterday we approached the creek and found it full of tadpoles. It was completely black in some places from all the tadpoles. 

I told the kids that we should not throw rocks in the creek because we may hurt the tadpoles and we certainly wanted to come back and visit them and watch them grow.

B says, "Mommy, they might die if we throw a rock at them, right?"

Mommy says, "That's right B, and we want them to live"

E then exclaims without missing a beat  "that's right Mommy, live Happily EVER AFTER!!!"
