Ear and There

One of Julia's favorite activities is "tea party," which is actually a complicated process of sitting at her little table with Dad or Mom and a plethora of stuffed animals, then running to her room - variously called the "groshey store" or "Coob" or "Targit" - to "buy" things you might need at a tea party, such as fruit, cocoa, strawberries, strawberry tea, crackers, cookies, fizzy water, pizza, et cetera.

Today, my regular afternoon tea party was interrupted by an errand to "Targit" to buy "earrings for Mama wif earing aids for Daddy!" I almost split my stomach laughing at her toddlerish equivalence of Mom's ear ornaments with Dad's hearing instruments. But I suppose, to her, it's perfectly clear: Mama doesn't wear hearing aids (yet!), and Daddy doesn't wear earrings, so, you know, QED.
