Baby-speak
My 3 and a half yr old son “ak” has just learnt of a new type of animal called a “limpet”.
He is very curious about this, trying to map it to something he already knows. We have the following conversation:
ak: “Mamma, so-and-so is a limpet?”
me: “No baby, he’s a human being. He’s a man”
ak: “Mans are human beings?”
me: “Yes”
ak: “Girls…?”
me: “Girls are also human beings” (smiling to myself…)
ak: “Boys also?”
me: “Yes baby, boys are also human. You are a human being”
ak: “No, I’m a trumpet”
“I’m also a trumpet” – Shishir
Probably trumpets grow to become human beings
Or else our family successfully breeds trumpets…
Hi! that is fun and looks like he is wanting to have his own book of biodiversity. Fun it is
