bitte schoen.

i thought it was pretty funny.

on the drive into work today i was thinking about how kids talk. i was actually dropping off the little 4-year old we're watching at his pre-school, and we were talking and said i "drive well". i thought it was strikingly odd that he used "well" as opposed to "good" but was glad he did. then, he said i drive "weller" than my wife. that made me chuckle.

i like how kids err on irregular verbs (to be, to have, to give, etc.) and such.

anyway, the wife and i aren't around kids too much, so it was a treat to listen to him work things out as we talk.
