This kid cracks me up so much.

So...the other morning we're driving in our neighborhood on our way to school/work, and we drive by a vulture snacking on a squirrel carcass.  Karys sees the gory scene and says "What's THAT?"  A "circle of life" conversation ensues as I try to put a positive spin on the explanation (don't want to give her some irrational fear of vultures), and I end with "See?  Aren't vultures so useful?  They clean up yucky messes so we don't have to."  Silence.  More silence.  Then, Karys: "So they clean up things that get smushed by cars in our neighborhood."  Me: "Yep." (smart kid!) Karys (very matter-of-factly): "Like a giraffe." 

LOL.  Is anybody else laughing at this?  Maybe you had to be there, but that was so hilarious to me.  Can you imagine?  Of all the things that might go through her 3-year-old head (Will vultures eat our dog?  My baby brother? Me?!), she thinks of some poor giraffe gallavanting through our (very small, gated) neighborhood and getting hit by a car, then devoured by vultures and, luckily, wasn't the least bit disturbed.  Such an imagination--I love it.
