Lessons in Preschool Grammar

Today Jonathan had a major dump truck project going. He was filling the back of the toy dump truck with smaller toy cars and then backing it up to the edge of the dining room table and dumping them off.  He really wanted me to see it, so he called me over and said, "Come look at this, mom! It's really going to crack you out!!!" 
 
Sometimes it's difficult to explain proper word usage to a very literal preschooler who knows that neither "up" nor "out" seems to have much to do with it.

He also informed me today that a "pyramid" at the end of a sentence means to stop.  Good to know.
