Lately we've realized that Lily hasn't yet grasped the concept of "why" things are the way they are. But today, she surprised me... we were playing with her finger puppets (10 for $10 at Ikea, but they are discontinuing them. GREAT toy for imagination.) and she was being a monkey and I was cockatoo. Our conversation went something like this:
Lily: Hello Cockatoo.
Mommy: Hello Monkey.
Lily: Do you like my black eyes, Cockatoo?
Mommy: I do. Do you like mine?
Lily: Yes. They are very nice and black.
Mommy: Monkey, if I have black eyes like you, does that mean I can be a monkey, too?
Lily: No.
Mommy: Why not?
Lily: Because you have a beak!
Smart girl!! :)
