jellyfish with peanut butter stingers

i love conversations with a three-year old.

colin was playing with a 'diego' game he has.  it helps teach counting and catagorizing and learning all kinds of different animals.  he was holding the bag of pieces in the car and was telling me all about the animals and our conversation was as follows:

mom:  what piece do you have now?
colin:  jellyfish
mom:  how many jellyfish are on that card?
colin:  jellyfish have stingers
mom:  yes, they do.  how many jellyfish are on that card?
colin:  what do their stingers taste like?
mom:  i don't know.  i've never thought about that.  what do you think they taste like?
colin:  silly mommy.  they would taste like peanut butter!  it's a jellyfish--it's a peanut butter and jellyfish!

of course they would!
(i still have yet to hear how many jellyfish are on that piece.)
