Hi AM–fun post! It is very interesting how they connect different words, phrases and ideas together.

Some wonderful answers by your little one!

Hi New Parent, yes, I love the way kids’ minds connect. The pure simplicity of the way they see things and connect them. Can we further hone it or will it be lost with age and why? Hmmm…

Hi Shirley, I know when Ian grows, he will make you laugh yourself silly, too!

Hi, Mom of Cairo, my daughter, indeed, likes things to be friendly. She generally makes ferocious things friendly or avoids unfriendly things, simply because of the nature. She once bawled over an unfriendly man in a sotrybook who hit a pony. Since then, she will remind me again and again that she does not have a liking for Mr Stone. I do sometimes worry for her fragility, after all, the world is sometimes fraught with hostility and antagonistic situations.

Hi Jazzmint, you are absolutely right to say that children can come up with unexpected words and I simply love those moments. I record them in my head or down and play them again and again.
