Funny

Alina was playing with all her stuffed animals this afternoon and had given herself the great task of dividing them into "families". 

A while later she proudly shows me her families:

Alina: Look, Bob, this is the rabbit family, this is the bear family ... and this is the chipmunk family (holds up a chipmunk and a raccoon).

Me: You know that one is a chipmunk and the other is a raccoon, right? They are different animals.

Alina: But it's ok, they're from the same family ... all the animals like chipmunks, and squirrels, and macaroons!

A few minutes later she holds up several animals and informs me that "all the flying things" are one family and that "all the green things" are a family (the green family consisting of a frog, a cricket, and a turtle). 

Being a child has got to be fun! Everything's so simple (although incorrect at times, hehe)!
