So Kathleen was reading Caroline a book yesterday, and on one page a beach scene was pictured. Seagulls were depicted fluttering around.
One of the things you do with picture books is, naturally, see if the child can name the things pictured. So Kathleen pointed at the seagulls and said, “What are these?”
“Birds,” Caroline said.
“Very good.”
Then Caroline took another look at the seagulls. Her eyes widened, and suddenly she started saying, “Mine? Mine? Mine mine mine?”
So now I’m wondering if letting her watch “Finding Nemo,” like, eighty seven times, wasn’t the world’s best idea.
