A Pun

At bedtime...
Daddy: Do you know which stories you want to read?
Millie: I will pick.
Daddy: Yes, you can pick.
Millie: But not my nose.
Daddy: Correct. But not your nose.
Millie: (grins).
Daddy: (grins back).

Confusing colloquiliasms

The other day we spotted a rainbow over a local ice cream factory. Ever since then, whenever we pass the factory she says, "Do we see a wainbow?" So far, no luck on repeat rainbows.

Today we had the following exchange:

Millie: Do you see a wainbow, Mommy?
Mommy: No. Not today but we better keep an eye out for it.
Millie: (Silence as she tries to figure out what that means).
Mommy: (Silence as she thinks to herself-- that may not be the best way to phrase it for an imaginative toddler).
Mommy: That means we will be watching very carefully for it.
Millie: Then I will keep TWO eyes out for it.
Mommy: That's a good idea.
