Deduction

I've been teaching Claire the correct names for body parts and it must be sticking. Yesterday, after going to the bathroom she comes into the front room and confidently announces, "Mom, I don't have peanuts, boys have peanuts." Well her misnomer was so cute I couldn't bear to correct her, so I left the conversation at that. A little clarification might have been in order though, as today after offering Claire a brownie, she firmly said no she didn't want one. I asked her why and she said "It has peanuts in it, boys have peanuts."

So wise. It might be time to set her straight. You never know how far this could go with a smart one like her.

HAHA! That's actually what my brother called it too. :) At least she's not saying very loudly in sacrament that her gina hurts. That is what Madisen did to me and I about died.

What a great story. I remember having this conversation with Lizzie. She used the word peanuts too, but she never seemed to concerned about them being in food. I love Claire's thought process!

So darn cute! I think it's wonderful that you ask enough questions to figure out what is going on in their minds. Just think if you had just said," OK, you don't have to have brownie if you don't want one." Instead you asked WHY? and look what you learned and what you taught us all.
