have you ever . . .

Lauren and I were snuggling on the couch when she said, "Mom, have you ever seen a caterpillar knit?"
"A caterpillar net?"
"No. Not a net, like a capture net. Knit."
"Oh. No, I haven't seen a caterpillar knit. Have you?"
"Yes."
"Really? Where?"
"On TV."
"Oh," I said, imagining Slimy on Sesame Street. "Was he using knitting needles?"
"Yes!"
"That's so silly. Caterpillars don't knit with knitting needles do they?"
"No!" she said, laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. "Sometimes they use their hands."
