One of those things that wouldn't happen without children . Try this , read this memorize it then say it as fast as you can .

"One smart fella , he felt smart . Two smart fellas , they felt smart . Three smart fellas, they felt smart , and they all felt smart together . "

Another time at Chester Zoo as we were waiting to get in...

"Dad....what's an ope?".

"A what?", I said.

"An ope", she replied

"I dunno, pet...where did you see it?", I asked in puzzlement...

"There", she said pointing...

Kids sometimes have a really refreshing view on things.
