Dylan visited Daddy at work today. The first thing Dylan said, when he saw Daddy, was, 'Daddy, you have new glasses'. (Daddy was wearing his office glasses, which Dylan had not seen before.) Where did Dylan learn the phrase 'new glasses'? Only adults talk about new glasses. Why not 'different glasses' or 'funny glasses'?

Later Dylan saw a lift ('elevator') in the office building. 'I want to go in the lift upstairs', he said. Daddy answered, 'People can use the lift only if they have business upstairs'. Dylan asked, 'Do you have business upstairs?' Daddy answered, 'Yes'. Dylan said, 'I have business upstairs, too.'
