Meanwhile...

Where do kids get this stuff?

At his request, I was telling Boom a story this morning. I think it had something to do with construction machines. But then he broke into the story:

"Meanwhile, some dinosaurs were there and a dragon, and the dinosaurs were mean, and they chomped the dragon..." etc., etc., and then Boom started flying around the house (presumably as a pterodactyl).

I'm copasetic with the dinosaurs and the dragons. But when did he learn to say "meanwhile"?

It happened last night during storytime, too.

Maybe he will do well in high school English class, where I seem to remember they put stress on using transitions in writing.
