Kei (4yo): What is 10 to the power of 1,000? Googol googol googol googol googol googol googol googol googol googol da yo!
(He counted ten "googols" on his fingers.)
Does anyone know how to bookmark a silly voice?
Like, sometimes I do a silly voice that I'd like to do again later, but a silly voice is a slippery thing and I don't know how to get back to the same one.
Kei (4yo) is developing some puns. Standing at a crowded intersection:
"Hito ga iru." (There are people)
"Hito ga inu." (People are dogs)
"Inu ga inu." (Dogs are dogs)
"Inu ga iru!" (There are dogs!)
Kei: Start a new game! Next is 2.
(Explanation of the solution: In the game "2048," you win by creating the 2048 tile. After that you are offered the choice to start a new game, in which case you start over with 2.)
Kei (4yo) suggests a new class of numbers called "big numbers."
For example: big 1, big 2, big 3, and so on.
They work like this: if you have "big 2 apples," then you have two big apples.
This game we made, Fruitarian, seems to be Kei (4yo)'s favorite these days. Lately he chooses it over any other game I've tried with him.

It's rather simple, but a good way to practice moving a cursor and counting.
Me: Look at this (車). This is "kuruma."
Kei (4yo): That's not kuruma. That's a number!
Me: This (犬) is "inu." That means "dog."
Kei (4yo): It's not a dog. It's fifty-two!
Kei (4yo) can be stubborn at times.
~6 months ago, we got a kanji poster, since he had already learned hiragana and katakana.
The first ten kanji on the poster are 一二三四五六七八九十, the numbers up to 10.
Since learning these, he insists kanji can only represent numbers.
