how the west was won

i love that my kids have such far-reaching imaginations

and that they play so well together

the lesser-known dietary habits of tigers (according to Carson).

Today as Cowboy Carson and Mommy were playing,

we spotted a rare & very dangerous
toy tiger in the hallway.
"Cowboy Carson," I whispered cautiously,
"you have to save me! Go kill the tiger before it eats me!"
Tipping his black felt hat, Cowboy Carson snickered
at my naivete and put my fears at ease in his reply:
"No, Mommy, tigers don't eat you.
Tigers eat BE-YU-BERRIES."
Who knew?
