Let's Play Dictionary

Lunchtime conversation is generally enlightening with 3 children under 5:

Tommy: I have a paaaaar-ty!  I have a paaaar-ty!

Me:  Tom, that's boasting.  It's not very nice to your sister.

Tommy:  What's boasting?

Me: It's when you make someone else feel badly because you get to do something special.  Like if someone at school gets to be the line leader, and you don't....and he says, "I get to be the line leader and you don't!  I get to be the line leader and you don't!"  How would you feel if someone did that?

Tommy:  Bad.

Lucy:  That's roasting. 

Tommy: Boasting!

Lucy:  That's roasting.  Roasting stinks up.

Tommy:  It's BOASTING, Lucy!

Lucy:  Yeah.  That stinks up.
