So some kid asked my son what his favorite animal was. . .

My son's reply - an aardvark . . .

The kid (around 14) said with all seriousness - ah come on - I meant something real that exists. . .


Sigh.

im not sure which is worse. that the kid didnt know aardvarks are real, or that your kid cites them as his favorite animal.

why is an aardvark your son's favorite animal? I'm genuinely curious...

he got to hold one at a zoo once. . .

Also, he was just partly kidding. He was even surprised at the response.
 
Teenagers never cease to surprise me...I'm so glad I went into networking rather than teaching. That kid would get a dictionary thrown at him.
 
I know what an anteater is, but I had no idea it's also called aardvark. Actually the first thing I thought of was some Harry Potter mythical creature. 😱

lol, I had a teacher say she had pet Aardvarks, she has pics on the wall in class claiming it was hers and her family owns a farm, google images came up with those images she lies out the bum.

Maybe a little search will do you good. They aren't the same thing necessarily.
Google is your friend.
