Lots of Egret Babies

I picked Troy up from daycare today, and he saw a white egret flying by the window of the car. It landed in a tree with dozens of other white egrets. They have a protected nesting ground on the university campus, and every year, they come back to this same spot to lay their eggs.

Troy said, “Look, dada! It’s a white egret! He’s going to the other white egrets. They’re making egret babies! Lots of egret babies.”

“That’s right, bud. Where did you learn that?”

“Mama told me.”

The kid is wise beyond his years. He knows things that he can’t even fully comprehend yet.
