Overheard
(Admission: I have a lot of catching up to do on the blog! Here’s a funny one to tide you over.)
Right now, Jonathan is using the past tense of “make” as “mook.”
“Mom, I already mook my bed.”
“Mom, Maddie mook a mess.”
I was giggling and scratching my head at this until David realized that he’s using the pattern set by “take/took.”
Kids are clever. English is strange.

That's the fascinating thing about kids learning language: when they're first learning and make a mistake, it's often the language, rather than the kid, that's illogical.
