Last week Jasper asked for a glass of milk, then poured it onto the floor.
“Jasper, were you careless, or were you just being naughty?” I asked.
“No!” Jasper said.
“So you were being careless?” I asked.
“No!”
“So you were being naughty?”
“No!”
“Were you careless or naughty?”
“I have nothing to say.”
Jasper will be 3 in September. He doesn’t watch prime time TV. We are oftern surprised by the language he picks up.

Jasper goes to a nursery. His teachers told me that some kids (especially the girls) are better developed in their language ability, and they do learn from each other.
