Often one has to translate for one's toddler - not only because their pronunciation is unclear but also because their interest in certain subjects exceeds that of most adults.

 At daycare we this conversation with the daycare worker (Nikki).

me: "What sort of dinosaur are you Jack"

Jack "Rannosaurus Rex"

(he is only ever a "Rannosaurus Rex" for obvious reasons)

me :"What sort of dinosaur is baby brother"

Jack :  "anklyosaurus "

(I pause to explain that an anklyosaurus  is like the Armadillo of the dinosaur world. He always says Luke is an anklyosaurus which I think is really cute)

me: (I hadn't asked this before so wondering what the answer will be) 

"What sort of dinosaur is mummy"

Jack "parasauralophus "
