A drive via City Hall one day led to discussions about civics and civic structures, city Mayor etc. Suddenly my little girl asked who the mayor of our city was. I said I don't know. She was not amused by my reply. With a resigned look, she said - "That's odd. You know, in Ponyville, everybody knows everybody else including the Mayor". (Ponyville is a city in Equestria for those who missed out on watching "My little Pony")
We were on the road one day, driving a bit out of town, during night past dinner time. With everyone hungry, I asked my son or wife to google for "food near me" to see what comes up. With a mischievous smile, the little one commented, "It's going to point to our van" (as we were carrying some snacks with us). We finally ended up in an Indian restaurant known for non-vegetarian style of cuisine. Though we asked for veg food to go, my son, couldn't help commenting he can smell lives that are lost (alluding to the smell of non-vegetarian food inside the restaurant). When we started driving back, the little bro and sis brought this up again for discussion and this time the little one was more brutal in her assessment. "I don't know how they eat dead animals. Those animals don't smell good even when they are alive"..
