I used to babysit a 5 year old who could fully read. He had a book of Shel Silverstein poems he liked to read out loud as a bedtime story, and one of the poems contained the word "Rhinoceros". He pronounced it "Rino-saurus", like "Tyrannosaurus". I pronounced it correctly, and he looked up at me with the most indignant child-face I had ever seen, and said with disgust: "you're not looking at it" I couldn't argue with his logic. He had a younger brother who was still on a bottle, and once when I was washing all of the bottles components he was picking them all up and reading their labels. He picked up the rubber nipple, held it up, and said "Nipple. Grown up girls like you have that too right?" Unrelated to that kid - I'm very tall, especially for a woman, and once heard a little girl yell out "Mommy look at her! She's taller than daddy! She's taller than a tree could EVER be!" Before her mom could stop her, she ran over, wide-eyed, and asked me if I was a real giant. I told I was, but that I was friendly. What else can you even say at that point?
