Monkey #1 and I had an exhausting conversation about the seasons yesterday. It went something like this:
#1: Does fall start on Monday because it's school?
Me: Not yet, but soon.
#1: When?
Me: In a couple weeks. What happens in the fall?
#1: The leaves change colors and fall off the trees and I get to jump in them!
Me: And what holidays are in the fall?
#1: Halloween, Thanksgiving, my birthday and dad's birthday... But... I just want it to be summer.
Me: Why?
#1: Because I like going to the zoo.
Me: I know. But, it's nice to have all the seasons. And, there are other holidays in the other seasons. And, other people have birthdays.
#1: How 'bout if we just have the holidays, my birthday and summer.
Me: But, someone has a birthday every single day. They'd miss out on their birthdays.
#1: Then, they could just all have their birthdays on my birthday.
Me: But, then no one could come to your party because they'd all be having their own parties.
#1: Then we could just have one big party.
Me: Can you imagine how long it would take to sing "Happy Birthday" to each person?
#1: Then we could just sing "Happy Birthday to Everyone"
What do you do when they have an answer for everything?!?
