My mom tells this story of me when I was little. I think it’s supposed to be an indication of how precocious I was as a child. I was in nursery school, I think, though possibly at a relative’s or friend’s home instead. This conversation follows, between me and an adult in charge of me at the time (paraphrased, of course):
“Oh look at that lovely bird. You see it? It’s a redbird.”
Adult points to bird out window. I look.
“That’s not a redbird,”I say authoritatively,”It’s a cardinal.”
And it was.
That sets the stage for the following like mother like daughter story. A couple of days ago in daycare, it was reported to my husband that much to everyone’s amusement, Sophia had the following conversation with Ms. Leona:
“Oh look at these reindeer!”
Ms. Leona points to two new toys, Rutt and Tuke, from the movie Brother Bear. Sophia takes the toys.
“These aren’t reindeer,” she informs Ms. Leona,”They’re mooooooooooooose.”
