Me, talking to Xander last night as I get home from work: "Hi, honey, how was your day?"
X: "Fantastically fantastic!"
Me: "Great! What made it so fantastically fantastic?"
X: "We learned how to tell time. On a clock! Not like on the ones at home."
Me: "Right, ours at home are almost all digital. That means they don't have hands, they have numbers. How cool that you're learning on the other ones, on the analog."
X: "Yeah, digital ones are hands-free. Not like the ones at school, those are hands-full instead."
Then he scampered off. He said it so casually by the time I realized what he meant, it was too late to correct him. Hands-full. What a great word!
OMG! I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face!
