Conversation with a 6-year old

Yesterday while driving Sabrina to school, I turned on the radio and the news was talking about the pirates near Somalia. I turned the station, but Sabrina had already heard enough to get her thinking.

Sabrina: Are they talking about pirates on the news?
Me: Yes, but they are far away.

Sabrina: Wait, pirates are real?

Me: Yes.

Sabrina: Hmmm. Are there good pirates?
Me: No. There are lots of good sailors, but pirates are bad.

Sabrina: Well, if pirates are real, maybe Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are real too.
Me: That would be fun, huh? But sorry, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell aren't real.

Sabrina: I know, Mom. I was being sarcastic.

    I, too think it is kind of strange when I hear about pirates on the news.

  2. Isn't it sad when your kids are old enough to make sarcastic remarks? Sigh...
