Idioms

2yo: [trying to get out of his booster seat after dinner] "Can somebody buckle me up?"
7yo: [looking over to help out] "You're already buckled up!"
2yo: "Well, then can somebody buckle me DOWN?"

I just love the confusing nuances of language! My university students do similar funny things with Russian.

Love it! That's one of my favorite things about listening to my girls interact. I just got back from "Stay N' Play" at Church and Hannah said you had a great vacation. I hate that we keep missing each other when you come through Memphis . . . maybe next time!
