A conversation with a 4 yr old

So I've been really lucky that thus far my kids don't know what Sesame Street is. I can't stand that show so I have never put it on for them to watch and never bought them any type of Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big bird toy EVER. I've been pretty good at keeping it from them. Until today. Landon woke up, turned on the tv and channel surfed til he found cartoons. He's been doing this since last year by himself, he checks the logos on the guide and knows which ones mean cartoons and which ones don't. So this morning, he channel surfed and for some reason stopped on PBS. BAM! Sesame Street. He'd been watching it for a while and then came into my room to ask me some questions about it.

Landon: Are Bert and Ernie brothers?
Me: um... I don't know. Maybe cousins?
Landon: No, they're not cousins. Why is Big Bird fat?
Me: He's just a really big bird...
Landon: But he's not real mom.
Me: you're right.
Landon: why does that one guy live in a trash can?
Me: I'm not sure.
Landon: (with the most serious look on his face), Thats just wrong. He's gonna get sick.
Me: laughing hysterically.

Our conversation then went to school and how Landon is going to carry antibacterial soup with him at all times and how he will catch chicken pox.
And that's a morning at our house.
