conulyEva is at the dinner table RIGHT NOW working on her homework. She's supposed to be writing three facts from her non-fiction book in a bag. We didn't get one of those this week (seriously!) so she's writing three facts from The Dinosaur Alphabet instead.
Her second fact is "Nobody knows why the dinosaurs became extinct". Several theories are mentioned in the text. Evangeline has come up with her own theory, though...
Eva: I think I know how the dinosaurs became extinct!
Me: Oh?
Eva: Oldness! They got old and they died.
Me: What about their babies? The younger dinosaurs didn't have babies?
Eva: Maybe none of them wanted to get married and have babies!
Me: *giggle* Well, of course, most animals don't get married first.
Eva: Really? Then how...
Me: Sex.
Eva: What?
Me: Sex. That's how you get babies. Humans don't really need to get married either.
Eva: SEX? They have to have SEX for babies? With the penis and the vagina? Ew. Maybe the dinosaurs didn't want to do sex and that's why they had no babies and that's why they died out.
Me: Um... excuse me. *runrunrun*
Also, Ana got 100 on her math test today, telling me proudly that she checked all her answers using the fancy finger method I showed her last night. (Aw!)
One question, though: Why on earth is a simple test on her times-tables-above-5 multiple guess? We didn't have that nonsense when *I* was her age! Just give 'em a 25% chance!
