A whacking.
Nugget: Where's the ball?
M: It's by the fence. Daddy whacked it really far this time.
N: What's a whacking?
N: Look at that truck! It has fancy wheels.
M: Do you like fancy wheels?
N: I surely do.
N: Miss S?
Miss S: Yes?
N: Um, this last day I drank a lot a lot of water so I was hydrated.
One frustrating/fun thing the Nugget does now is ask for definitions of words he already knows, so he can be an expert. For example, he will ask, "What's a car?" and won't accept - "That's a car." He wants to hear all about it. A Nugget-approved answer will sound something like this, "A car is a vehicle that carries people. It has 4 wheels, seats, a steering wheel, a speedometer, head lights, and windshield wipers." That's all well and good, and he's sucking up information like a sponge. But just try not running out of breath/patience/sanity when his 3rd question in 5 minutes is, "What is wait?" or my favorite so far, "What is blue?"
