Conversations with baby sister

Caelan is truly my scholarly child.  Science and math fascinate him and he loves to share his knowledge.  I always love dropping in on his conversations.  I've been known to learn a thing or two from him.  Apparently at school this past 6 weeks has been about insects.  Probably his favorite scientific topic; right up there with dinosaurs, sharks, and planets.  Here's his conversation with his baby sister...

Caelan:  Teagan did you know that butterflies like nectar?  They use their probosis to suck the nectar out of flowers (I didn't even know it was called a probosis).

Teagan:  *blank stare*

Caelan:  Did you know that bees like nectar too?  They take it back to the hive so they can make honey.  Those are worker bees.  The queen lives in the hive and the bees make her honey.

Teagan:  *looking like she might cry, but then flashes a toothless smile*

Caelan:  Mom, is it truth? (I love the child like broken sentences)

Teagan: *continued blank stare*

She may not know it yet, but one day she will be thanking her older brother while she's writing her doctoral thesis on the Probosis of a Butterly, the truth!
