On the way to school this morning, Liam declared the following completely randomly and without prompting…
Liam: Mom. We need to be very careful when we are around yaks. They have very sharp pointy horns.
Me: Huh! Well! I hope we don’t bump into any!
Liam: Well we would in the jungle!
Now I’m not a science and nature expert… but I’m reasonably certain that “yaks in the jungle” = either an education FAIL or a Diego FAIL. I will not take responsibility for THAT one.
Yet… I do claim a teachable moment FAIL because I just couldn’t correct him in his earnest wrning for my well-being when confronted with a yak.

Perhaps he thinks “jungle” means any foreign wilderness area. I think a trip to the library for a book on yaks and a little Nestle’s strawberry milk will suffice as your teachable moment. when you have gone to the library, you will understand the pink milk.
