What's The Opposite

This morning, we woke up to Emmit in our bed...as usual. Then Evie joined us. We were all just laying there, and I decided to get Emmit to count for us. He counted all kinds of stuff...eyes, ears, fingers, knees, etc. Then Nathan decided to see if he could point on tallest, shortest, biggest, smallest. So, we did that for a while.

Then I decided to see if he knew more opposites. We went over some: hot/cold, on/off, up/down, big/small, in/out, etc. And then it was his turn.

I asked, "What's the opposite of on?"

{blank stare}

So, we said, "If the light's not on, it's..."

Emmit finished, "the battery is dead."

And we broke in belly laughs!

Then we said, "If the door's not open..."

Emmit finished, "it'll let the bugs in."

Yeah...he doesn't quite get it!
