When i was young, I spent a lot of time around horses and ponies. My 4 year old logic naturally assumed that the ponies, being a lot smaller, would one day grow up to be great big horses,no matter how old the pony was. And yes, I would tell them so.
After all, small children grow up to become big adults..so why not!? I'm more worried that I would attempt meaningful conversation with my four legged friends.
