that is indeed a strange reaction. when saying master 3, do you mean your kid was 3 years old at the time? Yes he was.

i see ... well then as i said, strange reaction, knowing that at that age children often confuse words they don't know for different ones they know (apart from that i personally would want to find out if the parent there is really giving mouldy bread to their child) ...

still not speaking but acting funny:
i just put a tangerine on the tray of a's high chair, on which she was sitting. she leaned forward, pursed her lips and said "oh". then "ah". and then something that sounded like "hello", before leaning forward even more and taking the tangerine between her lips.

indeed. though at other times she still flings it through the room, especially if she doesn't like it.

um. I guess it makes it easy to find out what she likes and what she doesn't... silver lining etc...

a. often points out when her food is too hot, by saying "heiß". as we then blow some air on it, she does the same. the other day though, before nursing, she looked at my breast, said "heiß", and blew air on it.
also today, when i went into the bath tub with her, she said "heiß" and tried to make the water colder by blowing air on it.

ah and another thing - it matters a lot to her where people are when they aren't with us, right now. so throughout the vacation, she kept asking for "papa" (daddy) and "b." (one of my brothers), and we said they are at work (arbeit), so she kept saying "papa arbeit" and "b. arbeit". we then asked, where her six month old cousin "f." is - she answered "f. arbeit".

she did another thing yesterday: we saw some pretty flowers in the garden near my grandma's home, and she wanted to touch them. as she tends to rip out flowers, i told her "to only look with her eyes, not her hands". so she knelt down, bent forward, and put her eye against one of the flowers ...

apparently there was an ad with a scantily clad big busted lady on one of the websites mr. r. had open, and a. saw it - and was very quick to point out "she has a breast" or something like that ...

visited friends today, who have a five year old son, and another family was there too, with a five year old daughter who is friends with the boy. the girl's parents are vegetarians and while the girl sometimes eats meat at other people's places, she does so less and less. the boy likes meat a lot. so they told me, once he visited them, and at dinnertime asked if there was any meat. they said "we don't eat meat, because we are vegetariens." to which he replied "well, in our family we are berliners, so we eat meat."
also, when told the girl was going to go to a different school than him, he replied "oh, i understand, she is going to go to a vegetarian school."
...
as for a., we recently were at a playground in the evening. as it got dark, i told her to go back to the stroller so we could go home. she didn't find the stroller in the dark right away, so she turned to me and asked "licht anmachen?" (switch on the lights?)

two things a said recently:
1. while i was preparing lunch, a. grabbed the garlic on the table and threw it down. i asked "what was that about? did it make any sense throwing down the garlic?" she said yes. i asked "what sense did it make?" and she said "a non-sense sense".
2. one of a's favorite things to say, when she is not allowed something, is "when you are older, then you can ..." - she uses second person, but refers to herself.
so today i was changing her diaper and pointed out that it was quite a big poo she had there. she said it was a doggy poo. i told her that no, it is a human poo, only doggies make doggy poos, people make human poo, and she is a person. to which she said: "when you are older, then you will be a doggy. then you can make doggy poo."

something sad:
recently i was reading an article about the baby they found in the garbage container in spain, and a. saw the picture accompanying the article and asked what that was. i did not want to tell her that a mommy had abandoned her baby, but did not want to make something up either, so i said a baby fell into the garbage can but the police came and saved it. a. asked if the baby was crying, and i said yes, but fortunately the police came and saved it, so now it is alright. and then a. with a satisfied voice gave what to her is the obvious solution whenever there's a baby crying: "and then the mommy came."

mr. r. told a. she should poke her fork into her feet during dinner, to which she replied "yeah, because then the feet will break, and then i can't walk anymore and have to fly in the air."
...
also, mr. r. asked how many boxes she has, and she said four. he said that he thinks it's only three, but she insisted it's four. he suggested she count them, so she started: "one, two ...", hesitated, then pointing at the third one: "four!"

**As some background, Margaret Thatcher had the nickname of 'Milk Snatcher' in the UK after stopping free milk in schools.
So I heard this between Lil Star and a friend while eating ice cream.
Friend: Do you know who Maggie Thatcher was?
LS: Yeah
Friend: did you know when she was at university she invented Mr Whippy ice cream?
LS: oooooooh! That makes sense. So THAT'S why she stole all the milk off the school kids.

Well she's nearly 8 and heard lots of talk at the elections earlier in the year, just enough to get some funny ideas.
She also told me if she meets David Cameron she'll tell him we're really rich. I asked her why and she said 'well he gives all the money to rich people so if I tell him we're rich he'll give us loads of money'.
