Conversations with 6 year olds

Cooper:  Can we have frozen yogurt after dinner.

Me:  There isn’t a frozen yogurt near the restaurant.

Cooper:  That’s because they closed.  They didn’t make enough money so they couldn’t stay open.  There are too many frozen yogurt places and sweets really aren’t good for you.

Me:  Yes that’s right.  Good job explaining microeconomics.

Charlotte:  The penguin frozen yogurt place is still open.

Cooper:  Why is the penguin place still open?

Chris:  Why do you think?

Cooper:  Because they have a lot of people and make a lot of money.

Chris:  Why do you think people go there?

Charlotte:  Because they like the frozen yogurt!

Cooper:  Because they have the floor light thing for the kids to play.

Charlotte:  Because they have a lot of fruit toppings.

Cooper:  And some sugary toppings.

Chris:  That’s right.  Also, they are near a movie theater.

Me:  What can you do after you see a movie?

Cooper/Charlotte:  Get frozen yogurt!

Chris:  You guys have Turkey Trot coming up!

Cooper:  What is Turkey Rot?

Chris:  It’s Turkey Trot.  You win a raffle ticket for every lap you run and then they do a drawing to win a turkey.  Well a frozen turkey, not a live turkey.

Cooper:  Yeah, because you would have to roast the turkey to make it dead.

Me:  Well, first you would have to break it’s neck, then cut it’s head off, then pull it’s feathers out, then get the blood and organs out.

Cooper/Charlotte:  EWWWWW!

Cooper:  Turkeys are disgusting.  I do not want to touch their blood.  Vampires might though.
