Kyla: how do coconuts grow?
Me: They grow on coconut trees.
Kyla: ummm... Maybe I'll ask someone that actually knows...
Me: I *do* know, I just told you! They grow on trees, just like apples grow on apple trees and bananas grow on banana trees...
Kyla: [afraid to speak]
Me: ... It's in their genetic code. Coconut trees have a code that tell them to grow coconuts. Kyla has a code to grow blue eyes and blonde hair.
Kyla: [thinking]
Now, she's either trying to figure out who else she can ask, or my answer was good enough.
Oh man - I'm laughing so hard I'm crying over here (which probably just means it's past my bedtime!). Kyla cracks me up!
