What's "In"

Knights are the current fashion in our household, and a topic of constant interest and conversation.

My side of the conversation goes something like this:

"No, I do not know which is stronger, a battle-ax or a lance"
"Hmmm, yes that is silly that knights used to wear chain mail instead of plate armour."
"Yes, that would be hard to pray all night long before becoming a night."
 
and often deteriorates into something more like this:

"Knights eat lots of vegetables and get lots of sleep.  That is why they are so strong."
"Knights are kind to their little brothers."
"Knights always clean up after themselves."

Did I really say that?  I sound like such a fuddy-duddy mom.
