The World According to Bean: Wildlife

The following conversation took place today on our way home for supper:

Bean: What's that sound in the car?
Me: Good question. I think it's Little Mister's stroller rattling around in the trunk.
Bean: ...No, it's not O's stroller. It's cheetahs.
Me: There are cheetahs in the car?
Bean: No, they're outside....

.....Bean (whispering): Mom! I see groundhogs!
Me: Oh yeah? Where? (it was dark. there were no groundhogs.)
Bean: In the forest.
Me: Is that where they live?
Bean: Yes. That's where they live...

....

Bean: Do groundhogs roar? You know, like bears?
Me: No. I'm not really sure what they do. They're not so scary like bears and lions and tigers and cheetahs.
Bean: Can you play with them?
Me: Well, no.
Bean: Why not?...

....

Bean: Do groundhogs poop in the grass or on cars?
Me: In the grass. Why would they poop on cars?
Bean: Well, birds only poop on cars.
