Precocious

Ewan asks every day, several times a day, what certain words mean.  It could be something he heard in one of my phone conversations, or a phrase he caught on TV.  Several times, he makes up a word and asks what it means.  Sometimes it's a very creative hodgpodge of letters that add up to one interesting make-believe word.  Other times, it's a very simple composition of words he already knows mixed with an extra letter or syllable.  Witness our conversation yesterday:


Ewan:  Mommy, what does lifed mean?
Me:  Lifed?  
Ewan:  Yeah, Mommy, lifed.
Me:  It doesn't mean anything, honey.  It's not a word I've ever heard before.
Ewan:  You've heard it now.

lol....that boy, I tell you what...I just want to kick him, he's so smart Ü! AND mommy, LIFED is a word, for example:
Tommy killed someone and got LIFED.
That would be slang for jail time.
hehe...
