It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like ...

A nice, wet, fresh batch of snow fell today. Perfect conditions for our first snowman of the winter.
.
Speaking of snow, I've been meaning to share this conversation that took place between Zoe and I shortly after the first snowfall of the year:


------------------

"Daddy, how do you know the difference between snow and bird poop?"
.
"What!?"
.
"How do you know the difference between snow and bird poop if they're both white? I don't want to walk in bird poop."
.
"Well ... snow is cold. And crunchy. And all white. Bird poop isn't cold. It's watery. And it usually has different colors mixed in."
.
"Oh."
.
"And since it's winter time, that means any white stuff on the ground is probably snow. Most birds fly south for the winter, so there's not much bird poop."
.
"Where do they go?"
.
"Florida, where it's warmer."
.
"So now they're pooping on Florida?"
.
"Yep."
.
"That's gross."
.
------------------

Heaven help us when we have TWO of them asking questions.
