She blinded me with... analogies!

I consider running errands to be a good time to engage my captive audience in stimulating conversation. Molly Toddler and I talk about phonics, rhyming, science, and whatever else I can think of.

Tuesday morning, Molly and I were talking about analogies. First, I familiarized her with the wording of an analogy:

Me: We put a glove on a hand, but what do we put a shoe on?

Molly: A foot!

Me: Great! So Glove is to hand as shoe is to...?

Molly: Foot!

After a couple more examples like this, she began rattling off answers like an AP English student. (well, maybe not quite. But she's 3 ;-)

Me: Sky is to blue as grass is to...?

Molly: Green!!!

Me: Boat is to water as airplane is to...?"

Molly: Sky!!!

Me: Molly, "Ah" is to A as, "Ffff" is to...?

Molly: "F"!!!

Me: "A" is to "B" as"1" is to...?

Molly: "2"!!!

This whole thing kind of blew my mind. In a good way :-)

She quickly got bored of this, and wanted to "tell (me) some questions".

Molly: Mommy, where do we put our carseat? Do we put it in the grass?

Me: no...

Molly: Do we put it in the water?

Me: no...

Molly: Do we put it in the car?

Me: Yes!

Molly: Good job Mommy! Now will you tell me a bedtime story???

I love that girl :-)

Edit:

Here are some more!
