The Great Debate

Mommy and I are having a debate, and I need some reinforcements, seeing as I'm littler than her at only 22 months. I say the thing on the right is a "tar" and the thing on the left is an "ay-pane." Mommy says they are both "tars." Tell her what's right!

Hi Esme! My name is Sadie and I'm 22 months too AND I write my own blog (with help from my mom)! I'm turning 2 at the end of March. I wish I could visit Mozambique. I learned about it during the Olympics.

The one of the right definitely looks like a 'tar. The one on the left kinda looks like an ay-pane. But in my house, my mommy is usually right. It bugs me sometimes.

An "ay-pane", huh? Well, I'm sure my son would agree with you. So one more point for you! ;)

hmmm...maybe the one on the left is a stealth airplane. tell your mommy a stealth airplane probably doesn't need wings so it'll be more sneaky in the air ;o)

You are right. Children your age have the ability to shape our language. Even though my daughter will soon be 30, we still refer to horses as fossies.

Esme- you're such a cutie that I think you should be able to call it whatever you want!

Cute, sounds like you could be taught your shapes it you can distinguish between 'tar' shapes and 'ay-plane' shapes. (maybe you already know them?)

Thanks for stopping by to say hi! I have some boys who could use an Eagle scout project. Do you know of a group in Mozambique who we could help?

Hmmm I say "tars" but Lyndsy said they were halloween colors so I guess I'm wrong too. hee hee

hahahaha...Esme you crack me up. I'm going to stay out of this one. I would ask Zander what he thinks but luckily (for me) he is asleep right now.

The child is right—it's all about perception. Be free Esme!
