Alligator Soup Please

Conversation with a Five Year Old Would you like some alligator soup? I don’t know. What does it taste like? Alligator Well, sure I guess I will have some. Great! All you have to do is catch the alligator. Isn’t that the cook’s job? And you get to cook it too. Great!

The fours and fives are a volume of information and fun! And such fodder for my poetry!

Pretty funny! Very realistic. Exactly how five-year olds think. :) gw

I can just see me hunting one, lugging the body back to my lair and having enough energy to cook it. What pot would I use anyway?
