Higher Learning....From the Carpool Line

Everyday when I pick up the twins from preschool, I take a few minutes while they are getting buckled in to their car seats and before leaving the school parking lot to ask about their day.  The usual stuff like Who did you play with today?, What was for snack?, What did you learn today?  What did you sing in music?, you get the drift.  Most days I get a pretty decent amount of information.  I played with Harrison Y. Camilla and Isabella weren't there so I couldn't play with them.  We had graham crackers and water for snack. etc, etc.  Yesterday however the twins were unusually quiet about what went on at school that morning so we headed for home without much information being shared.  That is until we got to the stop light and then all of a sudden they couldn't wait to tell me what they learned in school.

So here goes.  Higher learning as taught by Ella from the carpool line.

Ella:  Mommy, do you know what we did at school today?
Me:  No honey, what did you do?
Ella:  We learned about real and make-believe.
Me:  Wow!  What did you learn?  Can you tell me the difference between real and make-believe?
Ella:  Yes!  
Me:  What is the difference?
Ella:  Real is "real" and make-believe is "make-believe."

There you have it.  Higher learning from the mouth of a four year old.  What have you learned today?
