what google and my 4 year old know

Sometimes I think Wyatt is like that little boy from Jerry Maquire, saying something similar to 'do you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds'... okay, Wyatt's not this crazy genius, but he can hold his own.

And he holds on to information that he thinks is valuable or interesting.

This week he is studying bugs in preschool. He climbed into the minivan with this in his hand.


I asked him about the circle in stomach, I (incorrectly) assumed it was it's bellybutton... 'no mom', 'is it a spotted bug?' I asked, another roll of the eyes, 'no, it's his thorax'.

I climbed into the driver's seat thinking cute but a little weird and 'isn't the thorax in the throat?' Of course, I won't argue that with Wyatt. He claims to never be wrong, only wronged.

So I googled it after he went to bed.

The kid was right, the thorax on a bug looks like the belly area.

Ugh, I hate being wrong... especially to a four year old.

I shudder to think of all the times this is going to happen to me in my life. I may or may not have forgotten my multiplication tables.
