Smallest E turns 2 today

This is the face of a guy who deleted an astonishing amount of ribeye during his birthday dinner but is still dedicated enough to go for dessert

@GraemeE oh boy! This is when they start getting fun my friend! 2 through 12 is an awesome decade.

GraemeE

@StarsSuck he is our first and only boy so im guessing we are in for a lot of "firsts" over those years

StarsSuck

@GraemeE hah for sure. Some you plan for, some you can't.

I had to explain grammar to a three year old the other day. Little Miss H thought that "wink" conjugates like "drink", so if "drink" = "drank" in the past tense, then "wink" = ....

On the one hand, I like that she seems to be trying to apply some sort of logic to why she can't just add "-ed" to the end of a verb to get to the past tense in every case and making connections between words that sound the same. Sadly, English is a bonkers language where there are more exceptions to grammatical rules than actual rules. Sometimes, that can get one in trouble.
