Me: “Better be careful of the sharks.”
Little Miss Thing, age 4 : “REALLY??!!?”
Danger Monkey, age 7: “Sharks live in salt water. The Lake is fresh water. There are no sharks.”
Me: “Don’t make me regret giving you all those science books.”

Me: “I give up.”

Girl: “No! Gross! But if you make some, I need to know.”
Me: “I understand.”
