Out of the mouthes of babes.

Ahhh, toddlers have some wonderful ideas!
At breakfast this morning Ethan was drinking milk, which had a picture of a cow on the packet. Ethan commented on the cow, and the conversation went like this:
Mumma(m)- Ethan, do you know where milk comes from?
Ethan(e)- ummm, shopping!
M - (laughs) yeah, but it also comes from cows.
E- ohhh yeah, I remember!
M- do you know where eggs come from?
Ben(b) - shopping!
M- (laughs again) yeah, but the kind we eat also comes from chickens.
B- (clucks like a chicken)
M- where do tomatoes come from?
E- I don't know
M- they grow on a plant, do you remember the tomato plant we had outside?
B- I don't see it
M- it's not there anymore.
M- do you know where basil comes from ? (we currently have a basil plant outside that the boys helped plant and are enjoying watching it grow and eating the leaves!)
E- bunnings!
(for my American readers, bunnings is a big hardware and plant shop - and E is right, that is where we bought the basil plant!)
