Our next door neighbors are an elderly (80+) couple. Jo has had several health scares since we’ve lived here, but she always seems to bounce back. This evening, she was out for a stroll. From his position on Daddy’s lap on the couch, Miles saw her head of curly, white hair bobbing along.
M: Hey! It’s a sheep!
Miles has heard the story of Jack and the Beanstalk about a hundred times. He knows the whole thing and corrects me if I get details wrong.
A: Jack and his mommy were very poor. They didn’t even have enough money for food. Their tummies were always hungry.
M: (anticipating the next development in the story) Hey! Beans are food!
