Conversations With A Squirrel

Charlie loves animals. He can probably name a hundred different kinds of animals. He talks about animals non stop. But in all other ways he is clueless about animals, as evidenced by the following conversation he had with a squirrel in the backyard today:
CHARLIE: "What you doing, squirrel...? You want ball? You looking for ball?"
ME: "He's looking for food, honey."
CHARLIE: "You want lunch? You thirsty? You want sippy?" (offers his sippy cup.)
ME: "That's nice of you honey, but squirrels don't drink out of sippy cups."
At this point the squirrel has had enough of Charlie and makes a beeline up a tree.
CHARLIE: "NO!! No climb tree squirrel! You get boo-boo!"
Atleast from this encounter we did establish that squirrels eat acorns and that they, unlike little boys, are allowed to climb trees.
