At the bus stop one recent morning.
Ella: Mama, do you know what all those trees are?
Me: Losing their leaves.
Ella: No, not what they are doing. What kind of trees they are?
Me: (its early) pause.........
Ella: Deciduous. They are deciduous trees. They lose their leaves. They are the opposite of evergreens. Does that make evergreens indeciduous?
Me: ...stunned silence.

Even Discovery Channel can't teach that kind of cleverness.
Well played, Ella!
