Creative Minds and 3rd Grade Conversation

I looked out the window and what did I see?


My inventor/mechanic:


I love how their minds work!

Snippets of conversations I hear in the mornings between two 3rd Grade boys:

--"S, how many girlfriends do you have?"
--"Just one."
--"Who?"
--"E!"
--"Not M? What about A?"
(Me, wondering how many girlfriends this boy has)

--"What Pokemon do you think will be effective against ___? He's a grass Pokemon. Would an earth Pokemon be effective against him? What about ___? He's got poison powers, do you think that would work against a water Pokemon?"
(This one-sided questioning goes on for the whole ride to school. I am glibly trying to answer his questions. I hope my cluelessness about the subject isn't too obvious.)

--"S, do you know what the Toro Pokemon is? It's like a cow only it has three tails."
--"Does it live on Samoka?"
--"What's Samoka?"
--"It's a planet where my army lives!"
--"Oh. Where is it?"
--"It's past Pluto, next to Guchi."
--"What's Guchi?"
--"It's the planet next to Samoka where all the pollution goes. Then the air gets cleaned and sent back to Samoka."
--"Oh. Do they have the Toro Pokemon there?"

Enthralling conversation, don't you think?
