I was driving home with the kids the other day, and we passed a large truck with animals in the back. The following conversation ensued:
Nathan: Hey! That truck had animals in the back! (Brief pause) I wonder where they're going? (Another pause) I'll bet they're going to the pound.
Grace: What's the pound?
Nathan: It's where if people don't want to buy the animals they kill them.
Xandra: (Stifling laughter and trying not to interrupt)
Grace: That's not very nice.
Nathan: (Earnestly) It's okay. It doesn't hurt them. They just give them a shot and then they fall asleep forever.
Xandra: (Still trying not the interrupt but just about to have an aneurysm from holding in the laughter)
Grace: (After a loonngggg pause and then quite sadly) I didn't know they did that to dogs and cats.
It was all I could do at that point to stay in my lane. It's probably not as funny reading it, but it was hilarious listening to their little private conversation. (Disclaimer: I did have a conversation at a later time about what happens at the pound and why.)

Precious moments to savor. Precious!
They are so cute!
Maybe he'll explain the birds and the bees to her when the time comes!!
That would be something we would so have to keep from Bekah! It would devastate her!
