A Kid's-Eye View of the Economy

This is part of a conversation that took place in the car this morning. I wrote it all down when we got to our destination so I didn't forget.

Little K: If you gave a slug a shell, would it be a snail?
Me: Um, no...
Little K: What is a slug, anyway?
Me: I don't know...a slimy, gooey, gross thing?
Little K: It's a homeless snail.
(Laughter)
Little K: It's a snail with housing problems.
(More laughter)
Big K: Maybe the bank foreclosed and took its home.

Funny and yet not funny at the same time. How much do I wish that my kids didn't know the word "foreclose". And people say that kids don't listen.
