Today we bought B2 a map of the United States. Too often he asks questions like if we can go visit Nini after school and come home in time for bed, which just isn't possible when Nini lives 1,443 miles (by road). We're hoping the map will teach him his geography as well as help him understand why we can't visit certain family members whenever we want. So, anyway, here's the conversation.
B2: "Mom, did you buy me a map?!?"
Mom: "Yes, I did."
B2: "What is it a map to?" Note: my brain heard, "What is it a map of?" so I had "United States" on the tip of my tongue when B2 continued: "To treasure??"
I was so taken aback by his comment that I almost choked on my laughter.
Then, a few minutes later, B2 started his kindergarten homework. Today, his homework consisted of practicing his handwriting on the letter S. Daddy was helping him while I made cookies (s'mores cookies--unfortunately, I was quite disappointed, but that's a different story). B2 exclaimed, "Look Mom, I'm working on my S-eses." He sounded a bit like Gollum talking like that.
