It can be hard following the thread of Robin’s conversation sometimes, but every so often he comes up with something that’s lovely. Today on our walk home from school I think he invented the concept of reincarnation:<\/p>\n
Robin: “Zombies were real when we were dinosaurs, did you know that?”
\nMe: “Those are two things that are fun to tell stories about, so a dinosaur story with zombies in it would be pretty cool!”
\nRobin: “No! Dinosaurs are real!”
\nMe: “They were real, yeah. There aren’t any dinosaurs any more. And zombies are just a story.”
\nRobin: (growing frustrated at my inability to understand): “No, when we<\/strong> were dinosaurs, zombies were real. I was a baby tyrannosaurus, did you know that?”
\nMe: “I did not know that. What was I?”
\nRobin: “Well, you were my mama, so you were a mama tyrannosaurus.”
\nMe: “That’s cool.”
\nRobin: “But I still liked ankylosaurus.”
\nMe: “Ankylosaurus is your favorite.”
\nRobin: “Right! And then a ball hit us and we died. And then we were birds, but we still loved each other. And then we were born into the real world!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It can be hard following the thread of Robin’s conversation sometimes, but every so often he comes up with something that’s lovely.
