Exchange with my two-year-old nephew, James, on the playground:
Me: James, please do not throw dirt. It can get in someone's eyes.
James throws another handful of dirt.
Me: James, look at me.
James: (covering eyes with hands) I am hiding!
Me: (giggling) James, I can still see you. Please do not throw dirt.
James resumes play in the tree stump. Thwarted in his attempts to disappear, he discontinues the throwing of dirt.
Too cute! There’s so much fun at this age, aren’t they?
