Facts of Life

Levi:  Mom!  I caught a mom and a baby butterfly!
Me:  Really?  Let's see.
(Levi comes in and shows me.  It is obvious to me this is NOT a mom and a baby).
Levi:  Are they stuck?
Me:  Uh, yeah, they're stuck.  You better let them outside.
Levi:  Wait, I want to get them unstuck!
Me:  No, you better just let them go.
(Levi totally ignores me and tries to "unstick" them anyway.  I am surprised how much it takes to get them unstuck.  Weird creatures.  Anyway...)
Levi:  There! I got them unstuck.  Now they will live longer because they are unstuck.
Me:  Um, I guess.  (to myself: Please, don't ask questions; I'm totally not ready for this)
Levi:  That baby butterfly really loves me!
Me: (to myself: I doubt it).
