What have we wrought?

Kouryou-chan and Yamaarashi-chan are both running about the house, and I just overheard Kouryou-chan talking about her stuffed animals. Usually, they're "my babies," or "my friends," or "my audience," or "my students," depending upon the game she's playing.

Today, they're "my minions."

Oh, bravo! Nicely done! :D

To be fair, I asked her what a "minion" was and she said, "I don't know." It's probably a difficult word for her anyway:

minion, n., a servile or fawning underling; a subordinate or petty official.

Still, she does seem to get the basic idea. They're people who live and work in her toy castle.

YES! She'll be a credit to mad scientists everywhere.

Sounds like she's on the fast track to world domination!

Very nice, but it makes sense that a child of yours would understand the basic building blocks of world domination at a young age...

I am now imagining the cartoon strip which begins, "Today, children, I want you to build a model of the world."
