Our Little Sarah is becoming a Big Little Sarah: Learning Nouns

Once in a while, Daniel and I think that indoctrination would make a genius out of Sarah. So, as we travel in the car, we would teach her. Here is a lesson on nouns and Sarah's rendition of it. Most lessons take the form of fill-in-the-blanks of which Sarah is pretty much an expert in.

Mommy: "Didi is a BOY and Sarah is a ..."
Sarah: "Girl" [Daddy and Mommy nodding with approval]
Mommy: "Very Good. Daddy is a ..."
Sarah: "Man" [Daddy hollers with approval]
Mommy: "And Mommy is a ...."
Sarah: [puckers her lips] "Wooo...man" [Daddy and Mommy agrees with delight. Footnote: Sarah gets a kick out of saying Wooooman]
Mommy: "What about Grandpa. Grandpa is a ...."
Sarah: [puckers up her lips] "Woo...man" [Daddy and Mommy roars with laughter]
Mommy: "No, no, no...Grandpa is a..."
Sarah: "Oo...man" [This time, Daddy and Mommy laughs even louder cos we finally understood Sarah]
Mommy: "Yes, yes, yes, Grandpa is an old man and Grandma is..."
Sarah: "Oo...wooo...man"

So, thus little Sarah has learnt nouns and unwittingly progressed to adjectives. What can we say - a genius in the making? Hahaha...or more likely a clown. Hahaha
