Small kids will look up at you and with no prompting be like “umdidjyou no dat um one time my mommy and me um we um we we we went to da zoo and when I was there um last summer we went to da zoo and didjyou no what was dere? A koala I seen those on Wild Krats.”
Like wow you have no idea how conversation works but boy are you giving it your all - I will stand here and look mildly surprised the whole time and when you’re done I’ll say “really?” And you will nod and look so victorious.
This is why they say that the kindergarten teacher will know more about what's going on in your house than you do. I used to work with kindergartners and preschoolers and kids will just tell you whatever's on their mind if they feel safe doing so. I was always very quick to show kids that I was interested in what they were saying so I have had countless unprompted conversations about Moana, dead family pets, and how Darth Vader controls the weather.
