Making Do

 

(while assembling a building toy)

 

Young child 3 (3 years old): Dad, we need to "omp-er-wise"

 

Me: We need to compromise?

 

Young child 3: No, "omp-er-wise".  Dad that is is when we don't have exactly what we need so we make something else work to do the job!

 

Me: WOW!  You are right!  Since we are missing the exact right part, we DO need to improvise!

 

Young child 3: That is what I said dad!
