Yesterday I started from work a little early and picked up Sean first since it was too early to pick Rhea as it was still her nap time. On our way to Rhea's daycare there is a farm and I told Sean that they have cows and sheep and horses there. They just had a baby calf and sheep and I promised him we would visit the farm on a weekend when the weather was good. There were couple of cows outside in the fields so I pointed to them for him to see.
He was silent for a minute and then said,
Mom, cows don't have hands??
My mind was racing fast to come up with a good answer for him but all I could come up with was,
Sean, the two front legs are the cows hands.
I know that does sound ridiculous...even to me now that I think back.
He immediately shot back, Mom, that's for walking right?
Duh, yes son...legs are for walking not hands...what was mommy thinking???
I guess at some point i can explain how hands and feet are used differently by different 'Species'....good topic for our day in the farm that I promised him I guess...
