*We are walking towards a pond, and I mention that we may see turtles.*

Ari: There won't be any turtles because you don't have bread.

Me: Maybe the crocodiles ate the turtles.

Ari: *angry tone* There isn't crocodiles in this ocean!

EARLIER THAT DAY WHILE WALKING THROUGH A FOREST

Ari: *stops walking and looks around and speaks in a soft, quiet voice* Are there lions in here?

Me: No, no lions in here.

Ari: Are there crocodiles in here?

Me: There aren't crocodiles in the forest.
