Complicated Conversations

Here is how Linnea is carrying on a conversation these days...

Backstory: My hubby and I had just finished changing the sheets on our bed when L came in and over heard me saying that it is difficult to change our sheets because of our bed frame.

L: 'What's difficult mean?'
Me: 'Difficult is how you describe something that is hard to do or complicated'
L: 'What's hard mean?'
Me: 'Hard means that it is not easy to do'
L: 'What's easy mean?'
Me: 'Easy is something that you know how to do or something that is not complicated'
L: 'What's is complicated?'
Me: 'Complicated is answering all of your questions'
L: 'What does question mean?'
Me: 'A question is when you ask me to explain things. Linnea you are being a silly obnoxious girl right now' As I tickle her to laughter.
L: 'What is obnoxious mean?'
Me: 'Obnoxious is when something is annoying or frustrating'
L: 'What is annoying or frustrating mean?'
Me: 'Annoying means that something or someone is being persistant or irritating'
L: 'Daddy, your annoying!' as she laughs because she finds this COMPLETELY hilarious.

Ah the inquisitive mind of a 4 year old. And the day that I need to buy a thesaurus and dictionary and encyclopedia and all other learning materials to keep up with my learning girls growing brains. Clearly my explanations need more work!
