Think, think, think

We were about to go to bed and Nicole wanted me to read this book to her - The wolf and the seven lambs, which all of us would have read during our younger days. Before I started reading, I told Nicole to stop me whenever she had any questions or could not understand the story.

When we got to this page, she stopped me.


Nic " Mom, I don't understand"
Me " What don't you understand, sweetie?"
Nic " How can the mommy lamb cut the wolf's stomach? The wolf would be dead. How can he still wake up for a drink later?"
Me " Ooh, I am so impressed, Nicole. You are absolutely right, this is just a story. It is not real. We know that this can't be done in real life right? I am glad that you are thinking for yourself"

I was really very impressed by Nicole's abililty to analyse :) That said, she only likes to be read to and dislikes reading on her own as it takes up too much brain power, I guess :()
