{pyramids and piers}

Amelia loves to craft with Do A Dot Markers.  They come out about once a week.  This morning, she and Claire were working on a picture, and Amelia was directing the project.

She kept telling Claire to draw a pyramid.  So, Claire would draw one.  Amelia would get upset and tell her time and time again, "Claire!  That is not what a pyramid looks like!"  Claire would insist that it was correct, and I even looked at it and found it to be sufficient.

A few moments later, we again go through the whole pyramid ordeal.  Finally, Amelia says out of frustration, "That is NOT what a pyramid looks like!!  You know, a pyramid!  Like what Claire runs on and jumps into the lake...at Grandma and Grandpa's lake cottage!"

Me: Oh, you mean a pier?!

Amelia: Yeah.

Amelia then looks at Claire and says in a low voice {as not to embarrass her for getting it wrong}, "It's okay, Claire."

Claire and I laughed out loud!
