The other day, we saw hundreds of birds flying and had the following conversation:JOSH: Those birds are flying to Florida
ME: You're probably right sweetie. A lot of birds fly south for the winter.
JOSH: They fly faster than we drive.
ME: Well, not too sure about that. We'd have to Google and see just how fast birds can fly. But my guess is they couldn't keep up a rate of 60 miles per hour.
JORDAN: Well, they'll get there faster than us if we took a plane.
ME: Nope, quite certain that airplanes move WAY faster than birds.
JORDAN: But, Mommy, we'd have to go to the airport and WAIT for the plane. They could just go...
This got us thinking...
JOSH: Let's write a book. WHO WOULD WIN THE RACE?
A bird or a car?
JORDAN: Or... a car or a plane?
ME: Or... a bird or a tiger?" A shark or a whale? A bird or a dolphin?
The possibilities are endless.
My kids are now wondering if Kendra will rep them. Ha!

I think Kendra should scoop them up (right after she scoops ME up)! LOL. :-)
Just go - I love that advice.
Oh, have you read Shark vs. Train by Chris Barton? It is along those lines and it totally cracks me up!
Love this! Kids are so much fun :)
Your house must be so much fun! Great post...
Funny conversation! There have been so many moments like that for me with my kids, when a simple conversation turns into a poem or book idea.
stumbled upon your blog....glad i found you! looking forward to learning more about Thing 1 and Thing 2 :)
I think your son is brilliant! :)
What great ideas for a book. Sounds like you have a couple of young writers following in your foot steps. How cool is that?
Kids imaginations and questions are so fantastic! They really get you thinking!!
That is the cutest picture!!!! Cute ideas for a story too. I think Kendra would be lucky to have them as clients. :)
I also love Shark vs. Train. There are a couple of books out there on this topic, but another one with a new slant would surely be welcome. Don't we just love it when our kids are smart and inspire creativity? ;)
I left an award for you on my blog today! : )
Oh, I LOVE this!!! Too fun!

I think he's right. A bird can get to Florida much faster than a plane, considering all the delays at Newark...
