All About Words
Melina knows the correct name for most things. However, she doesn't always get it right when she tries to speak of those things:
1. We have an old Pillsbury Doughboy (it was mine when I was little). She won't admit that title is truly his name. To her, he is The Frosting Boy.
2. Yesterday, Melina was watching The Magic School Bus. It was an episode about the Rain Forest. She saw a parrot and yelled, "Carrot!"
3. Today, we were making some elbow noodles. Sometimes we call them moon noodles, since they are crescent shaped. She looked up at me and said, "Mom, when are those arm noodles going to be done?" I politely informed her that yes, her elbow was a part of her arm, but the noodles go by the name of elbows.
