the kids i babysit really like to play a game with grapes wherein one eats most of the grapes on ones small bunch and then asks someone else what kind of vehicle it represents, based on the number of grapes that remain (these correspond to the number of wheels on the vehicle, so four is a car, three is a tricycle, etc.) this is what transpired tonight:
three year old: [holding up a stem with two grapes left] "what is this?"
me: "a bicycle."
three year old: [holding up a stem with one grape left] "what is this?"
me: "a unicycle."
three year old: [holding up a stem without any grapes left] "what is this?"
me: "a sled."
three year old: [looking at me with a mixture of disgust and pity] "IT'S A REINDEER."
