For months, Quin has used the words "yucky" and "hot" interchangeably. Like, when her hands are dirty, she holds them out and says, "hot, mommy". When her food, or her car seat is hot, she says "yucky". I never understood why until it was raining and she asked to go for a walk outside. My response?
"Not today, baby, it's yucky outside." (referring to the cloudy skies)
A light went on. I thought back to August when it was also "yucky" outside. It was so muggy and humid that I repeatedly referred to the weather as "yucky". Yucky=Hot. For a moment I understand what goes on in Little One's Head.
Or maybe her vocabulary is just lousy.
