I had an interesting conversation with my 3 year old E the other morning.
E: "Mama, can I have bwekfast, I want pancakes."
Me: "Sure can I finish loading the dishwasher?"
E: "I want pancakes"
Me: "I know, you need to wait a minute"
E emotions start escalating, and I'm not understanding.
E: "Yes, I want pancakes!"
Me: "I know that E, you already told me"
E: "YES!"
Me: "E, I know!"
E: "YES!!!"
The light bulb finally goes on.
Me: "Oh! OK, I'll get your pancakes"
E: "Thank you Mama"
E can be exasperating at times, but this little mix-up of words made my day.

That is such a cool post. I wonder how many times my arguments with my kids were just a misunderstanding of words.
