Every Friday is show-n-share day at daycare. So you’re supposed to bring an item starting with the letter of the week. This week is “R” and Nariah is trying to find something before we head out the house.
“What do you think I should take daddy?”
“Hmmm, how about me? Ryan starts with R”
“Noooooooooo daddy, I can’t take you! I need a toy!”
“Well, let’s see what you have… you have this rabbit, and this pet rock. I think you still have that red race car”
“Oooooh yeah, the red race car! I have to find that”

So after looking around for a while, she comes back sad that she can’t find the red race car. I tell her to keep looking and I’ll help her after I put her lunch by the door.
“Oooooh, my Barbie car!!!! We can take this!!”
“Baby, that’s pink, it doesn’t start with R”

She puts her hands on her hips, tilts her head to the side and proclaims wth a big smile; “It does in Spanish. Rosado”

Ummmm, yeah… so how do you respond to that? I know she didn’t say it, but I felt a “Duhhhhh daddy” in my head. This is really going to get interesting when she gets older.
