words

Joshua's turn of phrase makes me smile sometimes.
He asked me if I knew where his Ernie book was. The one with the snails in. I said, "I don't know what book you mean." He said, "yes, you know, of course you do." I protested that I didn't but he tutted and walked off. However, as I continued preparing the veggies, I realised I did know what book he was talking about - Hermie the worm. I was right. Josh was right - I did know.
But the classic today was: "Can you make me that great big round square thing that's a rectangle?". Not sure what that says about my teaching him shapes?! He was referring to the fort I made from the blocks.
He also told me that even though we call them plasters, some people call them band aids. I agreed. He said, "but we can call them bandages if we like". I said, "well, bandages are different, but yes, we could say band aids".
