Tonight we were reading a book about the animals of Asia and we came across a breed of monkey called the Proboscis Monkey. The conversation with Thor went something like this.
Me: "What do they call that special chamber Proboscis monkeys have?"
Thor: "A resonating chamber, its to scare of predators and other males"
Me: "Why do they need to scare off other male's?"
Thor: "Because they (other males) would try to steal their mates"
Me: "What is a mate?"
Thor: "Its a female they want to marry"
It was so hard to not crack up at his simple way of explaining it. I think sometimes we don't give kids the credit for knowing as much as they do. Some of the things they can explain seems so beyond their single digit years.
