Last night at dinner Kiddo asked me a question. I didn't get the verb, so I tried to repeat it back to her. I guessed wrong, so she repeated herself. I guessed wrong again, so she tried again. I told her that I couldn't understand what she was saying, so say it one more time slowly, and I would try very hard to understand.
She instead used a synonym, then repeated herself. This additional clue allowed me to get it immediately. I was so impressed that she could rephrase herself like that. I think she's smart.
(Original sentence: "Mom, are you still spilling?" Later sentence: "Mom, are you still dropping, spilling?" Since I wasn't spilling or dropping anything, I really had no context clues. Oh well.)
