Naming things

Today, Faelan decided that my left breast was a girl named P. I. Squirt, and my right breast was a boy named P. I. Drinkin'. Then he declared that they were drinking bottles. "Give me my drinking bottle!"

Storytime

Faelan just announced, "I am going to read Gingerman Boy to you!" He picked up Paul Galdone's retelling of the Gingerbread Boy, realized "it's upside-down," turned it right side up, and proceeded to read. Looking at the cover, he read, "The Gingerman Boy." Turning to the title page, he read, "The Gingerman Boy." Then he opened it up to somewhere in the middle and read, "The fox: 'snip-snap' and he was two-quarters gone. 'Snip-snap,' and he was ten quarters gone. 'Snip-snap,' and he never came out of the oven again. The end."
