Red bees

Talking to Lily is like taking to a 5 or 6 year old. She has amazing observations, she makes her own connections between things and ideas without someone having to explain it for her, she has a very clever sense of humor. And so smart.

Today we were talking about what's healthy and unhealthy to eat. Food and vegetables are healthy, she tells me- candy and sugar aren't. But a little bit of candy is okay, she says. Yes, I tell her, a little bit is okay.

We named some vegetables. We named vegetables by their color. How about red vegetables, I ask her.

Strawberries. [she says with a grin]
No.. that's a fruit. Don't try to trick me.. How about tomatoes?
Ya! And bees are red.
What? No they aren't.
Yes they are.
No- bees are black and yellow.
Some bees are red.
No, I don't think so.
Yes!
Lily, no, they really aren't.

Then she shows me this..

And says "the one on my controller is!"
