I never even told her I was a vegetarian

Nora: Mommy, when I grow up, I am going to become the exact same person as you.

Me: ...?

Nora: And I will be a vegetarian.

Me: Well, you will probably be like me in some ways, but not in all ways, because you are your own person.

Nora: What?!?

Me: You might look a little like me, because you're my daughter, and you'll be like me in some ways, but different in other ways.

Nora: Mom, did you know that there are more bees in [our town] than there are people?

Kids. They switch so quickly from profound to unintelligible to mundane you get mental whiplash.
