Yet more 'kids say the funniest things' moments...
After dinner tonight, we had to run to the shop to get some coffee (long story, not interested in going into it...). On our way out to the car again, we saw some mislabelled plants that I was trying to explain to chibi what they were.
Me: Those are not Venus Fly Traps. They're Pitcher Plants. Those ones (pointing) are the Venus Fly Traps.
Chibi: I want one. I think they're cool.
Me: We used to have some when you were really little, but there weren't enough flies so they died.
Chibi: *sadface then brightens up* But this is Ireland. There's lots of midgets flying around here all the time. You could use those.
Me: (dying of laughter) I think you mean midges.
Chibi: (giving me a weird look but totally in earnest) No, mama. They're MIDGETS.
So that's me told. LOL No matter what I said to him, he kept insisting they were midgets, not midges. This guy passing us going into the shop overheard us and started grinning. *so amused*
