Tails

Kate: Look, Mommy, Kitty have a tail.
Me: That's right. Do you have a tail?
Kate: Noooo. Kate have a de'butt!

Three things to learn from this conversation:

1. Kate loves kitties.
2. Kate is combining English and Chinese a bit (de is the equivilant of the 's showing ownership. She must often hear things like Kate's kitty, Kate's shirt... in Chinese and has incorporated that into her English at times.)
3. We should stop calling it a butt and give it a more kid-friendly term!
