During bath time today Dimitri asked, "Do pi-yots only have one eye?" I answered, "No, they need two eyes so they can see where they're flying." And then returned to washing baby Lizzy.
"No! Do pi-yots only have one eye!?"
"I think you're thinking of a cyclops."
"No! You're wrong! Pi-yots! ... Pi-yots! It has an R in it."
I finally got it. "OH PIRATES! Yes, pirates are often portrayed with one eye and a patch over the other."
At this he gave a satisfied smile and went back to playing with the bath toys.
Ah the joys of being able to spell when you're 3.
