Wherein a conversation with a 5-year old takes the usual bizarre turns

Reece: Mom, did you know that you have to take a boat or a plane to get to Italy? (His class went to see a children's play called Farfalle, which means "butterfly" in Italian, at Playhouse Square yesterday.)

Me: Wow, that's interesting. Grandma Phillips is going to have to take a plane to get to Spain when she goes there.

Reece: Is Spain a planet?

Me: No, it's a country like Italy. In fact, it's kind of near to Italy.

Reece: Oh, I know, it's like in the Pinky and the Brain song.

Me: ??

Reece: You know, "one is a genius, the other's in Spain".

(Note: The actual words are, "one is a genius, the other's insane".)
