Captain Jelly Belly and Gal Smiley like this show called Wonder Pets, in which a guinea pig, a baby duck, and a turtle save other animals in peril. On each episode, as they prepare to go on their animal-saving journey, they sing their little theme song, which goes like this:
What’s gonna work? Teeeeamwork!
What’s gonna work? Teeeeamwork!
One day after watching the show several times before, CJB asked me, “Why do they keep forgetting what is going to work?” And I said, “What?” And he said, “They have to keep asking each other, what’s going to work, can’t they remember?” And I laughed and laughed and laughed.
Then I spent an hour trying to explain the concept of “rhetorical question” to a 3-year-old. Yeah, my life…you know you waaaaaant it.
