Echolocation

We met the Moody's at McDonald's today so the kids could run wild in the air conditioned playplace while Margaret and I caught up on our grown-up talk.  Like good kids, all five of them ran wild and had a great time.

At some point they started playing "fruit bat" - and the purple ball Happy Meal Toy was the "fruit".

Here's what happened next...

     Allison and Melanie were standing next to each other
     at the bottom of the slide.  Allison is yelling up the slide.
     ALLISON: Fruit bat, fruit bat, are you there?
     Then she turns to Melanie...
     ALLISON: I'm using echolocation.
     And she went back to yelling up the slide.

That's my smart girl.  And the way she assumes tha everyone else knows as much about fruit bats as she does makes me smile, too.
