Setting: Outside on the sidewalk on a lovely afternoon
Mommy: Jack, come here and look at the caterpillar.
Jack: Neeeeeeeaaaaaaat!
Mommy: Yes, it is neat.
Jack: (Pointing at caterpillar) Meow, Meow
Mommy: No Jack, this is a cata-, ahhhh, no, Jack, caterpilliars don't say meow.
Jack: (Poining at caterpillar) Kitty, Kitty...Meow, Meow!
This conversation went on a lot longer than what I would care to admit to and I finally just gave in to that caterpillars say meow just like cats and kittens. Somedays I am just not strong enough to argue such things with a toddler. I still haven't won the war that all dogs are not named "Buck" as the neighbor's dog is.
