Lost in Translation.

I was unloading the dishwasher yesterday, and the Toddler was lurking close.
(You'd think I'd have learned by now to unload the dishwasher when she's incapacitated in her high chair or something...but nooooo.)

She was reaching for the utensils.
I stopped her quick and said "No. There are sharp knives. Knives." I wasn't sure if she knew what knives were, but I figured my chances were pretty good because she knew what sharp meant. "No: kniiiives." I repeated.

I soon figured out it was a word-to-be-learned, as she immediately, and gently, patted the handles of all the utensils saying "niiiiice.... niiiiice..."


...Oh well. :)
