Interpretation

Toddlers are great at showing you just how what you say can be interpreted into something completely different.  Ty is especially good at this and he proved yesterday.


Poor Ty is constantly being kicked out of his room by Ricky.  Ricky simply picks him up and carries him out of the room to the end of the hall instructing Ty to stay out of the room and not to touch his lego's (touching Ricky's lego's results in a huge Ricky meltdown).  Rick (being a loving and encouraging father) simply told Ty to "grow some balls and stand up to your brother"..... Ty in his little Ty voice, cocked his head to the side and said "balls???" and with a sudden sense of urgency, Ty started running around the house and up to everyone saying "balls????", finally running from the library with, what else, 2 balls, and a great sense of pride on his face.  He had found his "balls".
