[BlogEntry] 4yr old grammar Nazi

Some friends came up for a visit and brought gifts for the kids. Katherine got a book and movie, Elizabeth got an Angelina Ballerina doll. This caused Katherine to find new love for her own Angelina doll, which she has been carrying everywhere since.

Today we were out and about for the day and while cleaning up I wanted to make sure no toys were lost. I saw Katherine's pink Angelina doll. "Elizabeth," I asked, "Where's your other Angelina doll?"

Katherine's head whipped around. "That pink one's mine, Daddy."

"I know, sweetheart."

"Which one are you looking for?"

"The blue one."

"That one is Elizabeth's."

"Yes, I know."

"But why did you say Elizabeth's *other* one?"

In other words, don't make the mistake for a second that both dolls are Elizabeth's. One is Katherine's and don't you forget it. Nice.
