Clarification

Little Love: Mo-o-om! Where is the thingy-ma-jig?

Me: The what?

Little Love: The Thingy. MA. JIG!!!

Me: I'm not sure what...

Little Love: Oh! Oh no, no, no. I mean... the Thingy-ma- BOB.


Well, in that case...

:P

That's classic. I don't know how true it is, but I read somewhere that women use--and understand usage of--obscure nouns and pronouns more readily than men. For example, "You'll find the whichie over there, under that other thing," is a direction that most women can figure out. Little Love is so advanced! :)
