I ♥ My Niece!

Context: I was looking at animal figurines with my nephew, A, and was labeling the scorpion one for him. My niece, S, was close by.

S: "Aunty Gina, what's a scorpion?"
G: "It's... kind of a bug." A bit worried she'll freak out about them, I reassure her, "they don't live here in Canada cuz it's too cold in the winter. They only live where it's hot all the time."
S: "...I think I would like to live there."
G: (completely taken aback) "Yeah?"
S: "Yeah, cuz if it's hot all the time, then we don't have to worry about all this bundling up."

Music to an aunty's ears!!!
