Brinley and I just concluded a nearly 10 minute conversation about what kinds of food an anteater might possibly eat.

“Brin, listen. What kind of food does an anteater eat?”

“Um, bugs?”

“Yes! What kind of bugs does an anteater eat?”

“… roly-polies?”

“Brin, listen carefully. What kind of little bugs does an ANT EATER eat?”

A slow wide grin appears on Brin’s face.

“ANTS!!”

Update from the following day:

“Dad! What’s that animal that eats ants again?”
