Question of the Day

I've already posted this on FB, but I just had to post it here as well, for posterity.

Yesterday, the 'Question of the Day' was awarded to none other than our favorite little fella, Lil Boo.
It was lunch time and Boo, Bit, and I were at the Food Court at the PX eating our Subway sandwiches. You can imagine the scene: I was already finished with my meal and was busy stuffing trash into a subway bag; Boo was finished with his sandwich and had moved on to his chips (Doritos dust was everywhere); Bit was still busy with her first course, yogurt, and I was wondering if she would finish this meal sometime this decade.
And then, out of nowhere (and I mean nowhere), Boo says to me, "Mama, is milk...cow pee?"
And I looked at him like, what the??!!!And when my eyes caught his eyes, I could see that he was looking at me with his blue, innocent,  inquisitive eyes and was eagerly awaiting my answer. In other words, he was serious. Dead serious.

And I was thinking, "Why in the world would he think that?" And then I thought about it for a minute. Go ahead, you think about it too: Is milk-cow pee? Do you have a visual? Do you see it?

And there it was, folks. That's why he thought that milk could be cow pee. I understood where he was coming from.


So, my face softened from the what the look, and I barely eked out a measly, "No. No it is not."
I'm not even sure I made eye contact. I just wanted this talk to be over. Lol.

He seemed satisfied enough. But despite my desire to move on from this topic, I felt a need to further explain. So, I came up with this brilliant explanation.
"The milk comes out of one place and the pee comes out of another."


Ta-dah!

And thankfully, that was the end of that! Whew!
