Now that we’re starting to have whole conversations with Arddun, Tony has taken to messing with Arddun’s head by deliberately calling a spade anything but, and seeing how she copes with dissonance.
Like this, for instance.
Arddun: “What’s your name?”
Tony: “My name is… Bill.”
Arddun: “Noo… it’s not Bill. It’s Daddy.”
Tony: “What’s YOUR name?”
Arddun: “My name is Arddun.”
Tony: “Noo… your name is Jemima.”
Arddun: “Noooo…” replies the sage child, “that’s Play School.”
