(no subject)
We stayed out a little late, well after the sun had gone down. So, I had Ethan on my shoulders and we were talking about why he wouldn't want to stay out by himself. I pointed out that besides the fact that he'd be scared that there are things out here that might eat him. He asked what those were and I said that he'd mainly have to worry about the coyotes. He asked me if the coyotes would try to eat me and I said that they would probably be scared of me.
He asks me:
"Would they be afraid of Tatiana?"
"No, probably not."
"How about Danielle?" (a companion)
"Maybe."
"But they'd be afriad of you, right?"
"Well, I'd make them afraid of me."
"Yeah, you'd show them your skills and let them know how tough you are, right?"
Stifling a laugh here.
'Yes, something exactly like that."
And I get a picture of me, demonstrating my skills to a bunch of hungry coyotes.
