I have several new books that I really love and would like to write about here, but [sing as if you’re Mick Jagger] ti-i-i-i-me hasn’t been on my side lately so I hereby offer you these choice kid definitions I’ve heard in the last two days:
Me: “What color is this?” [pointing to a gray spot]
Kid: “concrete.”
Me: “What does ‘soggy’ mean?”
Another kid: “gooey.”
Yet another kid: “When your food gets old, it gets soggy.”
Me: “How is an oval different from a circle?”
Still another kid: “It’s a circle laying down.”
Kids have THE BEST ways to explain things.
