Because I'm a woman! (Part 2)

Getting ready for bed I go into her room to tuck her in.

Farryn: "Ah-ha! Gotcha you tupid lil fly!"

Me: "Oh Farryn, thats not a fly! Thats a mosquito hawk, they are good! You know those little mosquitos that bite you and leave those itchy bumps? Well these little guys eat those nasty lil bugs so they can't hurt you. They are like the mosquito police! Don't squash them okay Farryn."

Farryn: "Oh no, I didn't know that Mama. I'm sorry...but this one wasn't a good one, he was a bad mosq haux. You see sometimes there are good ones and sometimes here are bad ones. Just like dinosaurs, people... police men. (I look at her a little baffled) You know this Mama! Sometimes there are bad police men who pull you over when you don't do nothing wrong and sometimes there are good police men who catch the mean guys! They put their arms like this (imaginary handcuffs go on) and then they put them in the police cars and they take em to jail so those mean people don't hurt us!"

(Still baffled)
Me: "How do you know all this?"

Farryn: "Because I'm a woman!"
