And here is my lesson for the day.
Scooby: Lions eat caramels. But when the lion dies, it lies down on the ground and becomes the grass and the water. Then the caramels eat the lions.
Me: Caramels?
Scooby: Yeah.
Me (thinking, Camels, maybe? No, that can’t be right): What . . . what do caramels look like?
Scooby (using patented Are you kidding me with this? look): They are brown and they have four legs and they run really fast.
Me: Um, gazelles?
Scooby: Yeah, gazelles! They eat the lion when it turns into grass!
Ah, second grade. That brief moment when you know everything about everything, and everything you know is slightly wrong.
Oh, and by the way, Doodle’s drop-off was exactly on time today. Scooby’s was only (!) fifteen minutes late. Guess the squeaky wheel gets the grease, even on big yellow school buses.
