Tarana tales

Animal loos - On our trip to the Nakuru National Park a few weekends ago, Tarana saw poo along the path that we were driving on. With a stern expression and in a rather commanding tone she asked "whose poo is this?" and we responded, "the animals". "Those naughty animals" she continued to say in an authoritative tone, "I will tell them to go to the toilet!" We couldn't help but smile while our little T continued to look disapprovingly at the poo!

Garanda - Our house has a garage for two cars at the front  and a veranda looking into a garden at the back. For a long time T called them both 'the garage'. Like always, she has her reasons - the two of  them look rather similar. The garage doesn't have shutters. It is open on one side with walls on three other sides. The veranda is a very similar structure but smaller. A couple of days ago, I decided to correct her and told her that where she was sitting was a veranda and where the cars are parked is a garage. She asked me why and I tried a couple of explanations none of which were logical enough for her. Finally she looked at me in that 'if you insist' kind of way and said, "fine, I will call it a garanda then". So a garanda it is!
