You never know what they know.
May. 20th, 2012 12:00 amM just finished reading C, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
M asked C several times as they progressed through the book, "Do you know this story?", since C kept saying what the caterpillar was going to do on each page before M had a chance to read it. C kept answering, "No."
Finally, as M was about to turn to the last page and say what the caterpillar turned into, C interrupted with, "A butterfly!"
M hadn't turned the page yet to show the picture of the butterfly, so he looked at C and asked one more time, "Are you sure you don't know this story?"
C responded, "No, but I know this cycle."
