The other day, my son looks up from his book and declares that he has ‘extra meats’?
Huh?
“What are you talking about?”
“I have extra meats. I have fingers and toes.”
Looking over his shoulder, I realize what word he’s trying to pronounce. “Almost kiddo, but that word is ‘extremities.'”
Though ‘extra meats’ is also a pretty plausible definition for fingers and toes — it must be the Latin origin of the word. My kid’s a genius.

I have trained my 7 year old daughter well. The other day she was playing with a doll and said, “I do love this dolly but it is Sarah’s so I’ll have to give it back.”
I responded with, “Actually, your mum and I bought that for you for your last birthday. ”
“Really, ” she said. “That’s great … but don’t call me Ashley. ”
Her cheeky grin lit up the room.

Ha! Excellent! Reminds me of the old ‘Airplane’ movie — “and don’t call me Shirley.”
