Our 6-year-old grandson was with me this week in the gap between school and summer camp. It was a week of non-stop chatter.
On Friday, he was telling me about an episode he had seen on ANIMAL PLANET.
"This man was trying to catch an alligator gar. It's a huge, monster fish!"
"Sounds like an alligator gar must be some kind of game fish," I replied, absently.
"Oh, no, Grandma!" he protested, "The alligator gar is NOT a game fish. It's a SERIOUS fish."
So cute!!
ReplyDeleteA whole different world the kids live in...
ReplyDeleteIt is so very fun hearing young kids and their extrapolations about what is meant from words/sayings. Most of the time it is because they are just learning the literal meaning of words, and have yet to fully understand the nuances that so proliferate our language.
ReplyDeleteA three-year-old in our household also has many similarly fun ways to look at the world.
Thank you for your advice about my feelings of sadness. I appreciate them greatly and likely will try out your suggestion. And, thank you for stopping by my blog!
