Conversations with Blue : Pt. 2

Blue: Why do cats eat birds?

Me: Well, its all part of the food chain. (note to self: explain the food chain when I'm not so damn tired)

Blue: Do people eat birds?

Me: Yes.

Blue: What kind?

Me: Chickens, pheasants, quail, duck...

Blue: Do they eat chickadees?

Me: I don't think so.

<<5 minutes later>>

Blue: What's horse?

Me: What do you mean?

Blue: What food comes from a horse?

Me: I'm not sure. I've never eaten horse... maybe burgers?

Blue: (contemplative pause) I've never eaten a horse burger.

(note to self: I need to get a digital recorder so I can capture these conversations and play them back to her when she's a woman.)

I purchased a digital recorder as part of a photo project that I am working on, but I have found all sorts of other fun uses for it. Recording each of the three cats was neat and playing it back to them is really cool.

But, yes. To capture those memories with audio files ... divine.
