My differently abled daughter has a limited vocabulary.
However, she frequently tells B. ''I love you'' whilst completely ignoring me. It's a kind of game...she says it to Hym, I say, ''Hey, what about me?'', she grins, and then (usually) says ''I love you too.'' Anyway, the other day she did this for the about the tenth time in an hour or so so I said, ''Hey, what am I? Badger poo?'' (We get lots of badgers in our garden.) ''Noooooooo,'' she said, ''silly. Fox poo.'' (We also get lots of foxes.) And then she cracked up laughing.
Okay, so it sounds silly, but coming from her - W/we didn't even know that she knew what a fox was, let alone that she was able to make a connnection between the two types of wild animal - it was magic.
