Liquid
This morning on the way to school GlitterGirl asked me how to spell liquid. We talked through the spelling and then TwinkleToes asked what it meant.
“Well, it’s…. something that is… watery. Like water or milk or juice.”
I realized you could drink all of those things, so I scrambled to think of a liquid she was familiar with that isn’t a drink.
“Or your pee-pee, that’s a liquid, too.”
She, of course, went into a major laugh-fit at that. As her laughter calmed down I asked if they could think of something else that was a liquid. GG said “The gas that goes in your car is a liquid.”
Twinkletoes, still in funny mode, said, “Gas? I have a LOT of gas.”
I laughed and said, “Yes, but that’s a different kind of gas. The gas you have is not liquid.”
She scrunched her eyes up and said, “Nooooo. Mommy sih-wee”.
Which took us into an exercise of saying silly instead of sih-wee.
Never a dull moment.

That was a good one. My 3 year old has me help her in the restroom. I recently asked her to “get up on here.” She was furious and when I asked her why: Her answer, “I am NOT a pooh-non-ear.”
