My scat don't stink

I have the most intelligent, adorable niece in the world. Tori, who is 10, just attended camp for a week. It was some outdoorsy/girl scout type camp where they learned about animals, etc.

Fast forward to the weekend. Tori and I are sitting in the living room and had a conversation that went something like this:

Tori: "Taylor, guess what I learned at camp this week?"

Me: "I don't know. What Tori?"

Tori: "I learned that animals that don't eat meat, their scat doesn't stink."

Me (trying not to laugh): "Really Tori? All vegetarian animals?"

Tori: "Yeah, all vegetarian animals."

Me: "Tori, I am not sure you understood that quite right. Maybe your counselor was talking about a certain kind of vegetarian animal? Maybe a lizard or a bird?"

Tori: "Nope. All vegetarian animals."

Me: "Tori, have you ever been to, or driven by a cow pasture?"

Tori: "Yes."

Me: "You know that horrible smell? Cows are vegetarians but their scat really smells."

Tori: "Well, maybe that smell is just their breath."

Me (Really, really trying not to laugh.): "No Tori. It is their scat for sure."

Tori: "Really? Cause I was thinking this would be a really good deal for you since you don't eat meat."

Me: No longer able to contain my laughter.
