Kid-isms

Overheard today:

Emily had a science assignment today to design an organism, and Edward, overhearing her, asked if he could do the assignment, too.

I said of course he could.

Emily talked about designing a "pygmy whale," and, liking her idea, Edward chirped that he would like to design a Moby Dick.

"You can't design Moby Dick, Edward. He's already been designed," Emily told him matter-of-factly.

"Then I'll design a Moby Ed," he countered with a grin.
