Conversation between me and my 6-year-old nephew, Kyle:
Me: What is that?
Kyle: (excitedly) That's my ant farm!
Me: Are they alive?
Kyle: Do they look like they are alive?
Me: No. (now mentally kicking myself for saying that)
Kyle: (looks upset)
Me: (opening my big mouth again) I had ants at my house, but the exterminator came and killed all of them.
Kyle: (looks even more upset) Oh....
Me: (trying to save face) But there are lots more ants in the world.
Kyle: (brightening slightly) Yeah, there are.
