My husband's roommate and close friend from college came by for a visit this morning. He had never met Allison and Owen was Allie's age when he last saw him. He was smitten by Allison's charms, but it was Owen's bottomless knowledge that impressed him. The two of them were in our playroom and Owen was showing him all of his toys. More specifically the plastic animals and dinosaurs. Of course Owen was naming them all as he handed each toy to our friend. Then our friend thought he would ask some questions concerning the toys.
Friend: "What kind-of dinosaur is this?" (picking up a random dino)
Owen: "That is an Apatosaurus." (pausing and looking for a second)
Friend: "What do they eat?"
Owen: "They are plant eaters."
Friend: "What does this one eat?" (holding up another dino)
Owen: "That is a T-Rex. He is a meat eater. (stopping what he was doing and looking at our friend now) See, the plant eater eats plants but then they become the meat for the meat eaters to eat." (moving on with his previous project)
All the adults in the room started laughing and our friend says, "That makes perfect sense. Can't argue with that."
