Tonight before bed Andy picked out a story about Clifford the Big Red Dog. This particular book was a 'word book', which has very little story but lots and lots of labeled drawings to help kids work on their vocabularies. Andy eats these books up. By now he knows a huge amount of words but he thirsts for more anyway and asks about any picture he doesn't recognize.
One page had lots of drawings of people of varying occupations. There was a doctor, a magician, a construction worker...we went through them all.
He pointed to one drawing of a man in scrubs who was holding a dog.
I said, "That's a verterinarian."
He repeated the word. "Veterinarian?"
"Yes," I said. "Do you know what a veterinarian does?"
"Holds dogs."
Quite a logical reply, wasn't it?
