Today while playing squash I saw a young mother pushing her child in a pram, coming to a stop and watching us. Expectedly she told her child, "Look, it's a ball! It's bouncing, it's bouncing! Ooh it came so close!"

So what's so unexpected about it? Well, nothing. But, have we ever considered what the toddler might be thinking?

For all we know, the toddler might be responding mentally with a "Yes you idiot I know it's a ball and I know it's bouncing. Now all I want is just for you to tell me why the laws of physics act in such a strange way on the ball." Maybe now a child points at an Xbox controller. What is he thinking? The mother, bathed in joy that the child is taking an interest in objects, exclaims, "Well, look! That's a game controller! You use it to play GAMES."

"Yeah shut up and turn it on so I can play Halo 2."

"See, this controller has BUTTONS. They help you to..."

"Look, my GamerTag is gonna expire soon if you don't turn it on. I purposely stole your credit card for this so don't waste it."

Yeah, whatever.
