I'm guessing you've learned that the hard way.
Nothing like having a child's view of the world.
Makes a hell of a lot more sense than an adult view.
Brings back memories of my daughter getting excited over AVATARD. I still remind her to this day if we're together and see a pic somewhere..."Look, it's AVATARD!" Enjoy the moment 
When my son was very little he really liked Nutella on tortillas- folded and rolled in a very particular way. He referred to this delicacy as a “tornella”. He is 17 now and well over 6 feet tall but he still enjoys a good “tornella”.
Apparently, my parents used to tell people that I called the Peanuts cartoons, Penis cartoons. They are liars, lying bastards. Ha ha, I never even liked Charlie Brown or those other melancholy, sulking, nerdy penis kids.
I do, however, remember a distinct conversation I had with my oldest daughter at 9 years old at the dinner table, when she asked me if I was "masturbating". I was like, trying to explain what this word meant, that I knew she was confused about without really saying what the word meant, with lots of stumbles and "ummmms." Then when she realized what I was explaining, she finished her mouthful of food, and reiterated... "Masticating" chewing... they had learned it in science. Jeez, I nearly had, had a heart attack, ha ha.

Poor @HawkeyeLinus, with all of his Peanuts Christmas ornaments and coffee mugs
I hope that he doesn't read this and get his feelings hurt 
I just love the Peanuts TV specials. With nothing but young children Charles Schulz has created a world that most adults can relate. This comic was absolutely on fire from 1955 thru 1970 or so to my way of thinking.
I still like to draw Snoopy. Flying Ace
Ha
And what do you mean we like Peanuts?
Haha, I remember a friend and me staying in during recess a couple times in third grade because Mrs. Carlisle liked us and let us hone our Snoopy drawing skills (never as good as yours!). Sounds like @cosmicfolklore had a subconscious and hopefully “unflagging” respect for all things Peanuts. My oldest couldn’t get certain words quite right when she was very little - called him “Noopy Dog”!
And what do you mean we like Peanuts?
When I was in high school I took a film making class. And one of the little things we made was a man on the street type interview and one of the questions was about peoples mastication habits. I think only one person knew what it was and she was great. She answered the question while trying to sound as lascivious as possible.
Ah yes, they stick to their guns don't they? Louis C.K. does a bit about his daughter's insistence that Fig Newtons are in fact called "Pig Newtons"
My (also 3 year old) daughter has a classmate at preschool named Wrangell (after the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park). No matter how many times we correct her, his name in her book is forever "Wrinkles".
This morning while doing the pee pee dance, and yet insisting she did not need to go potty before I took her to preschool, during my repetitive urging that she attempt anyway, she said "Why can't you just relax, dude?"
It was yet another moment where my internal dialogue suddenly realized "Shit, this thing is gonna be a full grown human someday."

You've led a life so full and rich that you make the most influential people green with envy. I wish I was you. Damn you anotherbob!!!
wait till you hear the stories I can't tell here. Like that one time I was using an auto-scrubber. Though the most interesting thing about me, is I have condition where I can't identify sarcasm.You've led a life so full and rich that you make the most influential people green with envy.

Don't worry, I'll tell you when you're being sarcastic.
For those of us without a three-year-old handy, how is "pinecone" otherwise identified? It looks like an overfed rabbit in traffic safety colors.
Funny how kids are so ardent and dogmatic based entirely on their feelings. It's the first sign of adulthood.
