Almost As Good As "Boss Princess"

New term for "lab coat": "science shirt."

I love it when kids don't know the names for things they recognize and have to make up their own.

I believe this is known as the phenomenon of "open case words".
It is fantastic when kids do it.

YES! That's one of my favoritest things. I love watching kids scramble to use the words they have in creative ways.

My favorite was holding my cousin up to peek in at a carriage horse in a trailer. The horse had all it's harness on, and when I put him back down, cousin said "... horsey seat belt?"

Yeah, I suppose that was what it looked like. :)
