My daughter categorizes almost everything in her world according to whether it is a mama or a baby. Her hegemony applies to everything: sentient beings, vehicles, buildings, inanimate objects.
For example, there is mama spoon and baby spoon. And there is mama truck and baby truck. But the extent to which she applies this hierarchy has recently amazed me.
For example, she has two small figures in the shape of gentleman farmers. For several reasons, she has named both of them Farmer Palmer. But now she has decided that one of them is Mama Farmer Palmer and the other one is Baby Farmer Palmer.
Where will it end?
