Things my children say

Tonight the conversation at dinner veered to capybaras, our collective love of them, and L. searching "capybaras for sale near me". We then collectively wondered why we weren't capybara breeders. 

The conversation then turned towards animals we did or didn't like. Some children expressed a dislike of dolphins. I like dolphins (no doubt growing up watching Flipper contributed to that) and said so. A child then turned to me and announced, "Do your research. Mother!" 

I did laugh, both at the statement and the fact that I can't think of a time I have been accused of not doing research. In this case, though, I am going to continue in what I assume to be ignorant bliss because I do like dolphins and want to continue to do so. 

But it was also interesting to learn that you could purchase two capybaras for less than I've spent on a pony. Just sayin'...
