Keeping the dragons out.

File under Photography, Conversations, Driving and driving and driving - by Susan M @ 7:21 am

Daniel, Elijah and I ran over to the high school (kitty corner from our apartment complex) to drop some stuff off for Cat to take to a football game. The school is surrounded by a big gross ditch, which the kids all call the moat.

Elijah asked why their school had a moat.

I said, “To keep the kids safe from dragons.”

Daniel gave me a look that plainly said, “I am so irritated that you thought of saying that, and I didn’t.”

Elijah said, “Uh, Mom, dragons can fly.”

The gross moat:

It looks like dragons could be living in it.

Daniel said, “I can’t believe you said that. Obviously, Elijah and I are rubbing off on you. And anything that you gain, we lose.”
