conversations on fur ~

Adeline - "mom, how does Santa stay warm at the North Pole?"
Me - "The white fur on his coat is Polar Bear fur...it is the warmest fur there is!!!"
Adeline -"SANTA HUNTS POLAR BEARS!?!?"
Me - "What? Uhhh...NO!! When an old one dies... from old age, he uses it's fur to keep warm."
Adeline - " Ewwwww....what does he do with the dead, skinned polar bear body? Doesn't it smell????
Me - "No, uhhh...cause after he skins it for it's fur, he cooks it and eat it...just like the Indians did with the buffalo?!?!"
Adeline - "That's so gross!"
Mom - "Yeah, well, Santa's gotta eat too."
