They're Disgusting!
Discussion overheard while the kids were sweeping (and yes, these are exact words)...
Angie: There's a dead cockroach in the foyer.
Steven: Let's not sweep the cockroach.
Mommy: Yes, you need to sweep up the dead cockroach and throw it in the trash.
Kids: Okay!
Then...
Steven: Cockroaches are disgusting!
Angela: This one is on its back.
Olivia: But, if they're on their backs, they're easier to squish.
Steven: Cockroaches on their backs are disgusting.
Angela: This one's already dead - we don't have to squish it, so it doesn't matter!
Olivia: Yeah, but still...if they're on their backs their easier to deal with.
Steven: Dead cockroaches on their backs are disgusting.
Olivia: What about live cockroaches on their backs?
Steven: Live cockroaches on their backs are disgusting.
Angela: What about dead cockroaches not on their backs?
Steven: Dead cockroaches not on their backs are disgusting.
Olivia: What about live cockroaches?
Steven: Live cockroaches are REALLY disgusting!!
Do you get the impression that my three-year-old has already formed a strong opinion about cockroaches?
