I Spy, A Vacation Addendum

When we were in Arizona, we often played I Spy to keep the bambini from driving us to distraction (off the road, in other words).  It's tricky, but hilarious, business playing I Spy with Birdie, because, for example, you might say, "I spy with my little eye something. . .red!"  Birdie might say, "The [traffic] light!"  If it wasn't what you had in mind, you would say no--and Birdie would assume you meant that the traffic light was not red, but some other color--very confusing to those who have spent some time getting these colors down.  But Birdie. . .oh she's clever.  She solved the problem by playing I Spy like so: "I spy something pink!  My shoe!"  Asked, and answered, Brigade.
