Justifying Wombat

Me: Sarah, why did you put your fingers on the TV screen? You shouldn't do that.
Sarah: Well it's not like I licked it!

Confused Wombat

Yesterday we were sitting at the dining room table eating lunch. Chii jumped up on the table to go after Sarah's tuna fish.

Sarah: Chii is silly!
Me: Yes, she is *shoos cat away*
Sarah: She and Freya are both silly
Me: Well they are sisters. Actually they are litter mates.
Sarah: What's a litter mate?
Me: Well cats usually have more than one baby at a time - often 3 or 4 - and when they have a group of kittens like that we call it a "litter"
Sarah: Oh! *with sudden clarity* Cat litter!

Affectionate Wombat

In the morning when Robert was leaving for work:

Robert: *blows kisses to both of us* Bye! I love you!
Me: *blows kisses* Bye! Love you!
Sarah: Daddy! Come here. My kisses can't fly!

Efficient Wombat

Sarah: Look mommy! I found a lint roller!
Me: That's great! You can rub that on things which have cat hair!
Sarah: I know! I already rubbed it on the cats.

10 minutes later:

Sarah: Look at baby pasha! *holds up stuffed animal* I used the thing you don't rub on cats on her!
