A conversation with a two year old.........

The thing about a conversation with a child is that you never know what the kid will say. It's totally random, especially when they're just learning how to make a conversation. Take this conversation with Kali 2.5 last night as she sat with me watching a baseball game.

Kali: That's a bad guy! (pointing at baseball player on TV)

Me: That's right. That's not a Royals player.

Kali: That's a bad guy too! (pointing at player on other team)

Me: Yep, that's not a Royals player either.

Kali: I have blue jeans.

Me: You have blue jeans?

Kali: I have blue jeans in my closet.

Me: Yes, you do have blue jeans in your closet.

Kali: They too hot. I no wear them.

Me: That's right. We wear them when it's cold outside.

Kali: Mmmmmm-hmmmmm. (refocuses on baseball game)

Me: See, this guy is going to throw the ball. (pointing at pitcher)

Kali: (nods head in affirmatie manner)

Me: Did you see him throw the ball?

Kali: (giggling) Yes, I can! He stand in mud!

Me: That's right. It's not mud, but he's definitely standing in the dirt.

Kali: They stand in grass too?

Me: Yep, they stand in the grass sometimes too.

Kali: Mmmmmm-hmmmmmm.

Me: You see the guy holding the bat? The stick?

Kali: (nods affirmative)

Me: He's going to try to hit the ball with the bat. Watch the ball!

(player hits ball into the outfield for a double)

Kali: (laughing) Ball blew up!

Me: No, he hit it with the bat. See it bouncing around in the grass?

Kali: (laughing) Yes, I can! Ball no blow up!

Me: That's right. The ball bounced in the grass.

Kali: Mmmmmmm-hmmmmmm.


Just another building block in Kali's education. We don't wear jeans in summer, baseball players stand in mud sometimes, and baseballs do not explode.
