Ds was discussing over tea the fact that some big animals have big names - like rhinoceros - and some small animals have small names - like ant. But says he, 'isn't it funny that some big things have small words. Like you can love someone very, very much, but love isn't a very big word, is it?'
And this morning, reading Dear Zoo, said, 'mummy, why does it say 'we sent him back' and not 'we sent he back'.....cue very long silence from English graduate mother!
Anyone got an answer for me???
