Conversation on the way home from school.

Bud: Mom, are there still woolly mammoths?
Pickles: No you idiot! They're all dead.
Me: Pickles! That's inappropriate! Don't call your brother an idiot.
Pickles: Sorry Bud. Mom? How big were woolly mammoths?
Me: 1 and half times the size of a regular elephant.
Pickles: So they were really small?
Me: Not HALF the size. Just like 1 and a half elephants put together.
Bud: What parts would the half be?
Me breaking the cycle of crazy (sort of) and modifying a Super L joke: How do you make woolly mammoth cocoa?
Sassafras: How?
Me: You get a cup of hot water, and you put in a marshmallow and a woolly mammoth.
Sassafras: ewwwwwww! It would be full of wool!
Pickles: That would be way nasty Mom, cause you know woolly mammoths are really gassy.

and things just went downhill from there...
