Today Seth and I were saying that we should get to the children's museum again soon. I said something to the effect that time was running out and we should go before our membership expires.
Frankie overheard us and, I tell you, what went through his head was pretty different from the reality. I suppose "membership expiration" is a rather abstract thought for a 4-year-old to grasp.
So a few minutes later (after I had completely put this conversation out of my mind), this was our conversation.
Frankie: "Is our house going to start on fire?"
Me: "No, why? Is something on fire?"
Frankie: "No. Will it be on fire when we go to the science museum."
Me: "Why would our house start on fire when we go to the museum?"
Frankie: "Because the timer will go off and then it will explode."
