Strange milk-related conversations...

When Keaton was three, he would argue (daily!) that cows do not eat hay or grass, they eat milk. His theory was purely presumptive as he had never actually witnessed a cow eat (or drink) anything. His mind knew (and knowledge to a three-year-old is a dangerous, dangerous thing indeed) that his morning milk came from a cow, therefore the cow must eat (drink) only milk. How the heck else would the cow get the milk? It makes perfect sense.

Let us not get into the discussion that asks if the cow, then, is purely a tool to preserve the milk, perhaps we use cows for their natural sterilizing or pasteurizing abilities, which is why the cows would eat the milk and then give us that very same milk.

Let's just not go there...

Fast forward to age four and a half: this morning Keaton stated, quite matter-of-factly, that milk doesn't talk. It is crazy to even consider that milk could talk. Pure silliness. He expounded upon his hypothesis and included all utensils and foods inculded in this morning's breakfast. Milk doesn't talk, we know this, but neither does cereal, bowls, cups, or spoons. Only people talk. Only people.
And now we know.
