Penguins

Musa 9, Retta 4, and Mom (48 egads) just returned home from the March of the Penguin movie.  

On the way home I asked Retta...."Did you like those birds?"  

Retta:  "Mom, those weren't birds they were Penguins."  

Me: "You are right they are Penguins, but believe it or not they are birds, they just can't fly"  

Retta: "That's weird...birds that can't fly."  

Me: "Yeah, can you think of another bird that doesn't fly?" (thinking of an ostrich)  

Retta: Thinking quietly for a minute, then says: "Yeah a dead one"  

There you have the simple wisdom of youth.
