Me: Did you borrow some books from the library yesterday? (Thursday is their library day)
Md: Yes, I got 2 books.
Me: What books are they?
Md: Angelina Ballerina
Me: and....
Md: 2 Angelina Ballerina books, because I like Angelina Ballerina...
Me: I see, why don't you borrow one Angelina Ballerina and a different book?
Md: But I like Angelina Ballerina...
Me: You won't know whether you like others unless you read them....by borrowing other books as well you'll find out whether you like other books too.
Md: I think (her 'think' means she had thought it over), I'll borrow Angelina Ballerina; when I'm finished with all Angelina Ballerina, I'll borrow other books.
Me: Hmmm...how many Angelina Ballerina books are in your school library?
Md: I don't know....a lot.
Did my 5 years old just outwit me with her own reasoning? I still love the way children think.
