Tiny whatsit?
A few weeks ago we (Nathaniel, Marianne, Ruth and I) were all in the living room one evening and I was taking tags off some new things that I had bought for the girls, including some socks. You know how socks have that plastic hook to hang them in the store for display? I set one of those on the coffee table. Marianne sees it, picks it up, gets a big grin on her face and says, "Little tiny hanger!!" then runs to her room to try and hang it in her closet. Nathaniel and I cracked up. And since then it's expanded to the point where every small thing is a "little tiny" something to Marianne. A crumb from her cereal is a "little tiny chex!" and so on. That's where the name comes from. I love that story because it just goes to show that kids are so much more tuned into things than we think. Almost everything she says is completely TRUE, it's just that we had never thought to look at it that way.
