One day, when Daughter was about two and a half years old, she sauntered into the kitchen pulling her wheeled riding horsey.
Daughter: "Hi Man. My name Jack. This my cow."
Me: "Oh, my. What a nice cow."
Daughter: "You give me magic beans for cow?"
Me: "Why yes. That's such a nice looking cow, I'll give you six magic beans for her."
Daughter: "Ok."
Me: (Counting six pretend beans into her palm.)
Daughter: (Holding the palm with the beans under the cow's mouth) "Look cow. Man give me beans for you."
Cow: "(munch munch munch) Mmmmmm. Goooooood beans."
And then Daughter and Cow wandered out of the kitchen.
I figured next time I told her a story, I'd better be more specific.
