A conversation about manners, in which D. (age 4), learns about homophones:
D.: Do meerkats’ mommies teach them manners?
MRP: No, meerkats are animals. Animals don’t really have manners.
D.: But meerkats have manners, right?
MRP: No, not really. No manners.
D.: Meerkats have manners!
MRP: No . . . [a light dawns] . . . oh. Meerkats live in Meerkat Manor, but they don’t have manners.
I sure miss the days of kidspeak; mine are teenagers now. That is a great one. Thanks for the laugh.
