Extinct

I called home today to see how Ayden was doing since he was sick yesterday. He told me that grandma and him watched Animal Planet in bed before taking a nap. He said, "Do you know that dinosaurs are extinct? Do you know what extinct is mommy?" I was thinking he wanted me to tell him, so I was thinking about what I wanted to say. He then said, "Extinct means that they are dead." Then he continues on about something else. He is such a sponge. I need to remember to watch what I say around him. He is likely to believe me and repeat it. Last weekend he showed me two worms and asked why one was green and one brown. I just wanted those two worms away from my face, so I told him the reason they are that color is because of what they eat. One ate grass and one ate dirt. He proceeded to tell everyone that worms are different colors because of what they ate. I guess I need to start checking my facts before I tell him things since I know he will repeat what I have said.
