My friend, Tammi, and I were attempting to figure out how to get her daughter’s toy to work, to show my son. The toy in question is a hobby horse with a chip in its ear that makes galloping and neighing noises when pressed. The chip is apparently broken. Tammi squeezed the ear for awhile, then I gave it a go. Finally, her nearly-three-year old came over and said, “I can show him how it works, Mommy.” She took the hobby horse, straddled it and skipped off across the room.
“This is how you make it gallop, Frederich!”
Then she added, “And you can make it neigh, too – Neigh! Neigh!“
My 4 1/2-year old said, “Cool!”
Sometimes grown-ups can be really idiotic.
