It's funny how kids get things mixed up in their heads. Like the time our 7-year-old daughter Neva was talking about someone in a coffin and said, "You know, in the esophagus." It took Bob a minute to figure out she meant "sarcophagus". (How she would remember either of those words is beyond me!)
The other day, we were watching a program on The Discovery Channel about hot air balloons. Neva had seen it before and was excitedly telling us what was happening.
"When they land they drink wine. And when they blow up the balloon, they fill it up with champagne!"
"They don't put champagne in the balloon," I corrected. "They drink champagne when they land."
"No, that's what they said. They fill it with champagne." She insisted.
Again, Bob clued in: "Propane," he said. "They heat the air in the balloon with propane."
"Yeah, that's it!"
Happy sweeping!
