The world according to Nemo

I credit Finding Nemo with many good things. Education (he knows the difference between a mako, a hammerhead and a great white shark), laughter and my own sanity (especially for one time when I had a stomach flu and couldn't play with him, but Nemo took care of him for that badly needed 2 hours of rest).

Boy: "Sometimes there are jellyfish out there." He points to the ocean.
Mommy: "Yes, so you should be careful when they are there."
Boy: "Why?"
Mommy: "Because they can sting you"
Boy: "Oh. But you can bounce on the tops."
Mommy: "Really?"
Boy: "Yup. Boing, Boing, Boing." His hand demonstrates the bouncing for added effect.
Mommy: "Yes, honey, but fish can do that. Not little boys."
Boy: "Why?"
Mommy: "Because you're too big."
Boy: "Oh" Dejected face. Had looked forward to one day bouncing on jellyfish.
Boy: "And jellyfish don't talk. Only fish do."
Mommy: "Right...."
