Mining words

Alice used a new word today: “mine”. She and Charles were up in her bed playing and fighting over some balloons from the party yesterday. Charles was stunned by this.

Charles: What Alice say?

Dad: She said “mine”.

Charles: What that mean?

Dad: You know what “mine” means. You say it all the time. It means that the balloon belongs to Alice.

Charles: [clutching his balloon tightly] MINE!
