Just a short one to document the funny thing that Riley said last night. She usually starts talking to herself about random things as she is winding down, and sometimes I jump in:
Riley: We are meat-eaters, but we don't have sharp teeth so we don't hunt our prey. We get our meet at the supermarket. We make our own food, so we are not really a part of the food chain.
Me: Do you know what meat-eaters are called?
Riley: No. Oh, carnivores!
Me: Right. But we also eat plants. Do you remember what animal that eat both plants and animals are called?
Riley: No.
Me: They're called omnivores.
Riley: Om-ni-vores?
Me: Yup. Do you remember what animals that only eat plants are called?
Riley: Lawn mowers!
I think I just about died. Rudi thought it was hilarious when I recounted it to him later. Ah, Riley!
