My five year old has just started reading, and she is always talking about which words begin with which letters. This is the conversation we had while drying off after taking a shower together the other night.
5yo: Mama, I know a part of your body that begins with the letter "L".
me: Umm...my lips?
5yo: No.
me: My legs?
5yo: No.
me: Hmmm. I think I need a hint.
5yo: Okay. It's inside your body and it's red.
me: (puzzled) My liver?
5yo: No. What's a liver?
me: I'll explain later. I think I need another hint.
5yo: Okay. It's red and you show it on Valentine's Day. And it begins with "L."
me: (starting to get a bit concerned about what she might be referring to): Uhhh...I don't know. Heart doesn't begin with "L", does it? Maybe you should tell me.
5yo: It's your LOVING, Mommy! It's inside your body and it's red like a heart, and you let it show on Valentine's Day!
Whew. My "loving." That's much better than some other options.
