Wherein Mommy Scores a Victory

A conversation on the way home from the library today:

Betty Boop: Mom, do you know Joe?
Me: No
BB: Dad says that Joe is a giant butterfly that eats Bettys. Then he said he eats cats and we should save up all of Norah's hairballs and feed them to him. That's just gwoss.
Me: Yes, it is very gross.
BB: You know, I'm beginning to think Joe doesn't even exist.
Me: I don't think he exists either.
BB: Mommies are smarter than Daddies.
Me: Yes they are.
BB: You are smarter than Daddy.
Me: Yes, I am!
BB: I mean, Daddy can't even tell twue fwom false.
