I overheard the best conversation last night. Addy had her cousin, Hannah, over for a sleepover last night and they were in the kitchen making a snack discussing the seriousness of Swine Flu. I took notes, I was laughing so hard that is was difficult to keep up.
This is what I heard: (They are 6 and 7)
Hannah: You know that 10 people have really died from the swine flu?
Addy: How did they die?
Hannah: They just got sick from a pig farm maybe somewhere in China. Well maybe in Mexico cause a lot of people have it there.
Addy: How did the pigs get here from Mexico?
Hannah: The pigs did not come here, Addy it got in the air.
Addy: How did the pigs get in the air--they cant fly, duh pigs cannot fly.
Hannah: No pigs can't fly. A pig got someone sick and the sickness got here.
Addy: So someone kissed a pig?
(Hannah, being much more educated on the subject.)
Hannah: No, they must have ate bacon from a pig that was sick.
Addy: Ooh, I will never eat bacon again.
Hannah: You can eat bacon you just have to wash your hands first.
Addy: I'm gonna make sure that everyone washes their hands before they touch me.
Hannah: Yeah, that's what my teacher said. You know even 1 person died in Utah.
Addy: What the pigs are in Utah??!!??
Hannah: No, just the swine flu is in Utah Addy.
Addy: WHATTTT IS A SWINE???
Hannah: It's a flu after the swine--it's a pig maybe.
Addy: What? A swine is a sick pig? Ohh, I will never ever kiss a pig cause I don't want to get it.
Hannah: Addy...you don't really understand.
I am so glad they straightened this out for me.
