Beau: “Ooh there’s the baby horse! He’s so cute!”
Me: “Yes he is.”
Beau: “I love horses.”
Me: “Horses are beautiful animals.”
Beau: ” I love cows too.”
Me: “Cows are cool.”
Beau: “And ducks. I love ducks!”
Me: “Yeah, ducks are cute animals.”
Beau: “I love animals with babies. They are so cute.”
Me, in my head: Where exactly is this conversation going? All animals have babies, but maybe that’s best left for another day…
Beau: “I love vampires too! Vampires have babies.”
Me: “Vampires are cool. I guess. Do they have cute babies?” {Wow. This conversation is not going where I had anticipated.}
Beau: “They aren’t like humans. Like they grow up really fast.”
Me: “Gotcha.”
Beau: “Yeah. Did you know there are vampires that are 1,000 years old?!? And 1,010 years old?!?! And 1,020 years old?!?!”
Me: “Wow. That’s a super long time to be alive. I’m not sure if I’d want to be alive for 1,000 years.”
Beau: “I know, right?!”
 
And that is another typical conversation with Beau during our daily commute.
