Questions, questions

So last night I am tucking Selim in bed when he asks me, "Mom, how do you think the Tooth Fairy got under my pillow last night?"
     "I'm not sure."
     "She is small and my pillow is big.   And where did she take my tooth?  I mean, how did she fly away with it?  Did she shrink it?  The tooth was pretty big and she is small."
     "She must be clever.  May be she had a pouch around her neck that and she could put the tooth in there."
     "Hmmm...How does she carry the money?  A quarter would be too heavy for her to carry when she is flying."
     "May be that is why she left you a dollar.  She could have folded the bill into a small square and it is pretty light."
     "Yeah, cash is much lighter than change.   She must get really tired if she has to go to a lot of houses every night...If it was raining, she would have to walk because fairies can't fly with wet wings.  Wouldn't she get tired?"
     "May be she had an umbrella.  Could she fly with an umbrella?"
     "Mom, she would have to walk.   And she has small feet.  This is a little off topic, but if we had Xfinity on Demand and had their security system, then we would have cameras over the door and we could watch her come in and fly around."
     "Does the security system have tapes, or would you have to be awake and watching?"
     "Well, if we got a tablet or an iPhone, we could watch it on there.  I don't think they keep tapes of your house. (pause)  And Santa...we could watch Santa come in!  That would be awesome!"

Then today we were driving home from the market I had the radio turned to sports talk.  It had been on for a while.  First they were talking about Phil Jackson not being re-hired by the Lakers and all the pros and cons of that coaching decision.  And then the topic of the Bears / Texans game last night -- what did we learn, if anything about either team?  And naturally, since this is sports radio, the guys are talking and interrupting each other and it is all good natured banter.  As we approached the stop light by Agway, Selim piped up with, "Do these guys ever stop arguing?"

I hadn't realized he was paying attention.
