Conversations with Children can be Perilous

We were at a birthday party for a little boy turning two. I was sitting at a table, eating with a three-year-old with amazingly good language skills, when another boy a couple of years older came and sat with us.

This young man had a toy with him, one of those talking Woody dolls from the movie Toy Story.




The three-year-old turns to me, very serious.

"I'm going to get a Woody!"

I nearly choked on my cheeseburger.
