Dinner game...

Last night at dinner Will invented a new question game to play with the kids. He is really good at entertaining the kids while encouraging them to eat the meal they find repulsive--which is great for me because by dinner time I am ready to give all three to the circus. Anyway, Will started asking the question: "Which is smarter?" and then listed two objects. Just check out some of their responses and reasoning--you'll be playing the game at the dinner table in no time.

Which is smarter, a mushroom or a piece of fruit? Lorien: "I think a mushroom is smarter. Because a mushroom can make itself poisonous so no one will eat it--but a fruit is just delicious to everyone so everyone will eat it."

Which is smarter, a piece of bread or a piece of pie? Wyatt: "A piece of pie is more smart because there are lots of parts to a pie and they can all think together."

Which is smarter, a piece of bread or Clare? All of us: "Clare!" Clare: "A piece of bread!"

Will wanted me to point out, that he got the idea for the game because (naturally) the big kids were teasing each other saying: "You are dumber than a house." "Well, you are dumber than a worm." on and on...
