H: "Daddy was jealous."
Me: "I don't think so. Do you know what jealous means?"
H: "Yes. It means he didn't like it."
Me: "No. Jealous means you want something someone else has got. Like if I gave Joe a biscuit but I didn't give you one, you'd probably be jealous."
H, squeaky voice: "Oh! That maked me sad!"
Me: "Why?"
H: "Because you gived Joe a biscuit and not me!"
Me: "I didn't! It was an example! In fact, yesterday I gave you two biscuits, one for Joe, and you ate both!"
H: "But today you didn't give me a biscuit! Not even a crumb!"
