Definitions

My children seem to be having trouble with the meanings of a few simple words.

Last week on a hike, Young T learned something new.  Grandma told him something about the river.  He replied that it wasn't a river, it was water.  So Grandma taught him that a river was water that flowed like this particular water was doing.  "Oh."

Today, the kids wanted to play in some dirt.  My only request: "Don't make a mess."  We need to work on the definition of the word mess around here.
