City Girl

Tonight, while Chad worked on a sight word reader with Emma, I had Madelyn in the bedroom working on a deck of Brain Quest cards.  We flipped to one with a picture of a barn and farm animals and the question was, "What is this place called?"  She answered correctly by saying "a farm."  On the next card were three pictures and it went something like this:

Me:  What is this animal?
Madelyn:  A cow
Me:  What is the farmer doing? (he was milking the cow)
Madelyn:  (pause, then pointing to the final picture that showed an empty can and a can full of milk) That's pee-pee milk. 

I guess we should get her out of the city a little more often.  And, yes, being the parent of the year, I laughed!
