Today I took Maya and the gremlins out for a walk and on the way we were talking about flowers and I was pointing out daisies and dandelions and buttercups (yes, that is the total extent of my botanical knowledge
) and Maya started singing this song about buttercups.
"Buttercup, buttercup on my bread."
So I asked her where she learnt the song. She said she made it up. I said that's very clever. She said "I thought about it in my heart for a while and then it came into my heart so I remember it."
Wow! That's deep for a four year old!
