Parental Logic Translated by a 4 Year Old

Walking back from the beach today Dawson pointed out the place where my mom and he had seen a lizard earlier. "Bama says lizards can change colors to match wherever they are."

"Hmm," I wondered, "I don't think all lizards do that."

"Yes they do. Bama said so," he said with resolve.

"Maybe she was talking about chameleons," I offered.

"No," he insisted. "Bama is right because she's YOUR mama and she knows more than you because she's older than you."
