My two "dictionaries"

Kai : Mum, do sloths have tail?
Me : Erm…..(kids think mum has all the answers). Meimei, do sloths have tail?
Ann : Yes, a very small one
-----------------------------
Ann : Mum, 'alot' is one word or two words?
Me : Hmmmm….Kai, 'alot' is one word or two words?
Kai : One word. Many people make the mistake of thinking it is two words. Always spell it as alot and not a lot.
-----------------------------
There you have it, my two dictionaries. Ann has an almost complete knowledge of animals. She is just so into them. She has many books on animals and she reads them faithfully. Yes, you are so right that I go to her when I need to know anything about animals. Kai is like an online dictionary. You can hardly catch him with any word which he doesn't know. Even his school teachers and principal asked him for the meaning of words.
