My not-so-funny daughter

Well, my cousin came to stay with us for few days during spring vacation. Well, he’s 12 years old and my daughter is 6 (will be 7 soon) so they get along very well. Plus the fact that my cousin speaks French all the time (English from time to time but well, he’s French) and my daughter is also speaking the language, so they mostly spend the time together. And because he is staying with us for few days, I have the responsibility to plan activities for all. Well, one of these activities is have a walk in the woods. (Hey, he’s frenchie so he loves it… de se promener) So while we took a rest from walking, the two of them were talking and these were their conversation:
My cousin: Regarde, il y a un grand moustique au-dessus de ta tête.
My daughter: Où ca?
My cousin : Il est déjà parti. Tu sais qu’est qu’ils font ?
My daughter: Ben, je sais pas. DE MIEL?
My cousin: HAHAHA! Tu croyais que les moustiques font miel? Qui font le miel ?
My daughter : Bah, bien sure c’est pas les moustiques… c’est les mouches !!!

Well, here’s the translation :

My cousin: Look, there’s a big mosquito above your head.
My daughter : Where?
My cousin: It already left. You know what they do?
My daughter: Ben, I don’t know. HONEY?
My cousin: HAHAHA! You think that mosquitoes make honey? Who makes honey?
My daughter: Bah, of course it’s not the mosquitoes… it’s the flies!!!
