Yesterday I took the kids to the WNC Nature Center in Asheville to see the butterfly exhibit. The volunteers sprayed the kids with sugar water and the butterflies flocked to them!The Nature Center has a lot of native animals and a petting farm as well. My oldest wants one of everything we saw: goats, chickens, turkeys, donkeys, bunnies, and more!
He had a tender moment with a big tom turkey. They were nose to snood. Free was gobbling softly and the tom just eyed him and gobbled back. It was sweet!
As we walked away, I was feeling so touched by that tender moment when Free said, "Mom, boy turkeys just have that floppy thing instead of a pecker."

OMG! I'm so glad I had just swallowed my coffee when I read your son's comment! I'm afraid it would have been all over the computer screen otherwise! Too funny.
That's the best thing anyone has said, ever.
Ever.
That's hilarious! And he got right to the heart of the matter--it probably does have some function in attracting mates. (Good thing you wrote this down--I always say I will and then forget the good ones.)
Okay - I Free is funny! I really laughed when I read what he said. Out of the mouths of babes...
