You can tell that this Mamacita just discovered Liberty’s Kids on Netflix-Watch-Instantly:
[Outside, while gardening]
Jose: Mama, do ants ever fight each other?
Me: Yes, I suppose so. Like if two different colonies want the same food.
J: Oh, so some of them are British?!

Me: 1978
H: So the Redcoats were still here when you were a baby?
[Umm... no, that would've been 1778... but thanks for that]
For more TTT, visit by friend Mary’s blog carnival at NotBefore7.

Me: Yeah, I think so.
H: Aww, that’s so cute.
