There's a word game the kids like to play with me. I'll give them a word and then ask them to come up with multiple definitions for it. Like "lead":
- 1) a metal or
- 2) to show the way.
I was playing this with N at lunch today and he decided to quiz me. "What are two definitions of the word 'chicken?'"
"Hmmm," I said. "I can only come up with one."
"It's easy, Daddy. Chicken:
- 1) like what you eat and
- 2) like what goes 'gobble, gobble."
"You realize...," I began, but then I re-thought the wisdom of clarifying. So I just smiled and told him he was brilliant.
