Signs we may have been watching too much Star Trek

The Six-Year-Old, politely: “Mommyo, can I tell you something?”

Mommyo, warmly: “Of course.”

The Six-Year-Old, informatively: “Spaying works on tribbles, but not neutering.”

Mommyo, carefully: “OK.”

The Six-Year-Old, disgustedly: “Yeah. Had to find that one out the hard way.”
