Touche!

Andrew often "visits" our virtual farm in the game FarmVille. The creators of FarmVille take certain liberties with reality in the name of entertainment. For instance, milk a brown cow and you get chocolate milk; Milk a pink cow and you get strawberry milk; Milk a green cow and get . . . milk-tonium. (The green cows are extraterrestrial.) In FarmVille, reality is slightly askew . . . .

This afternoon, I was trying to engage Andrew in conversation and I said, "Andrew, tell me something about zebras."

(Silence.)

So I pressed on, "Andrew, are zebraaas . . . pink?"

Without lifting his head from his train table, Andrew said, "No. COWS are pink."

I started to disagree with him. But then I remember that, sometimes, in FarmVille, cows are pink. Touche!
