Today Charla was uncommonly motivated to help Leora and Kai with their homework. As in, this was the first time. I'll take it!! She very sweetly helped Leora with her spelling words, one of which was the word, "MALE."
I wish I'd have had a recorder on hand to tell you the exact words they used, but here's as good as I can remember...
Charla: "next word: MALE"
Leora: "M-A-L-E. What does it mean?"
Charla: "OH! It means a guy. Because of the weird thing boys have."
Leora: ".....?"
Charla: "You know, the weird thing between their legs" complete with gestures.
Leora (hesitantly): "ooooh."
And later this evening, after putting them to bed, I overheard Charla telling Leora "facts" about Megatron (a bad Transformer... my girls have huge crushes on Star Scream and Megatron)...
Charla: Did you know, Megatron is 31 years old!
me: hey, I'M 31 years old!
Charla: I know! But he doesn't like brownies.
I'm glad she knows where to draw distinctions.
And to go perfectly with this little snippet, this incredible picture my sister Dora made as a birthday gift for Leora yesterday:
