At the Vancouver Aquarium, we're over by the sea lions. They're lazing around napping in the sun, facing away from us.

7YO goes, "Watch this, I can speak sea lion."
"Uhuh, of course you can."

7YO goes up to the railing closest to the sea lions and in a loud voice goes, "Hey Sea Lion, AAARRRRPPPPPP!!!"

One of the sea lions cracks their eyes open, turns their head around and looks at right at 7YO.

"AAAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPP," it barks out, then plops back down to nap.

"See? I told you I could speak sea lion."

Now 7YO just accepts it as fact they had a conversation with a sea lion.

Kid Logic.

You need to give them a chance to speak whale then.
