We're goin' to the zoo, zoo, zoo, how about you, you, you?

I asked my daughter (22 months) this morning if she wanted to go to the zoo today. Here is our conversation:

"Do you want to go to the zoo today?"

"Ok"

"What do you think we'll see there?"

"Zoo?"

"Will we see animals?"

"Yes"

"What animals will we see?"

(Silence)

"Will we see a lion?"

"Yes"

"Will we see a firetruck?"

"No"

"Will we see a giraffe?"

(Imitates a giraffe eating leaves) "Arthur?"

"Yes, we might see an aardvark there. Will we see a monkey?"

"Yes"

"Like Curious George?"

"George?" (Runs and gets a Curious George book and starts reading it. Conversation is over.)

Oh well, at least I can have any conversation with her now, albeit a distracted one.
