They walk underwater!
This morning, we're watching children's programming. They're talking about letters, and the letter in question at that moment was: "M." There were several objects on the screen, all of which started with M. One thing is just an outline. A voice says, "Name an animal that starts with an M!" This outline has good-sized ears and buck teeth, and I, so lacking in imagination, am thinking, "Mouse!"
No so the child. Her answer?
"Tapir!"
The next animal name I expect her to utter? Coelacanth. I wouldn't be surprised.
Also, I suspect she's been mixing with an unsavory element at school. Today in the car, while a Springsteenesque instrumental thing was playing, I hear from the backseat, "Yeah, baybuh! Yeah, baybuh! Gimmeachance, baybuh!"
These kids these days with The Rock and Roll.
