We are Zombies..

Being a Mother myself, I know children can be pretty Smart at a young age,, Sure my son may not be like the other parents kids,, My Boy barks and sometimes I have to yell at him not to run across the street to Poop in the neighbor's yard, no one likes to pick that up..  But I Know he puts pieces together and learns from me all the time.. It always amazes me how much I think he knows,, and than one day I learn he knows way more than I give him credit for.....I love those days when I realize That what I think he comprehends is only a tiny amount of what he really does..,I feel silly saying that it is Amazing to me but it does..It makes me pause and thing How awesome Samson is... But this is what brings me to the Title of this post... WE ARE ZOMBIES.....So I am talking to my niece Emily..who is 3 years old.  She is talking all soft and quietly to me,,she said  "Zombies are out side aunt JoJo"... I pretend Im shocked " Really..Oh No..Im scared".. She smiles and continues,, "Sometimes they say Hi,",and then she starts to raise her voice,, "but Sometimes they say......(and than she screams) RAWR!!!!!!.....Than she says in a calm voice "But its just a joke"....she was too funny.  So I told her that I have a Game.. Its called Plants Vs Zombies.. she would love to learn to play it... So we play it and she learns to stop the Zombies from eating the plants and Sunflowers....it was fun she only played it once.. and 2 weeks later, Im cleaning out my Car and she spots my Sunflower Seeds, I teach her how to shell them and eat them..she asked me what they were made of.. I explained they are made from Sun Flowers.... and she continues to try to shell them....then she Turns to me and says WE ARE ZOMBIES!!!.....It took me a minute to realize what she was saying... and she said Aunt JoJo,, Im Eating the Sunflower's Brains...Im a Zombie.... It Just made me Smile...This 3 year old puts 2 and 2 together and Comes to the conclusion she is shelling a sunflower seed and finding its brains inside and eating it,, therefore She is a Zombie......Whatever age they are Little Kids are Smart even if you dont think they are putting the Pieces together.... Dont underestimate how much little kids learn and keep with them..They are like sponges,...I hope I remember to stay in check when they are learning from Me..
