I came into the kitchen and was confronted by Matthew in superhero costume, holding an extra "cape" in front of him.
"Dada," he announced, "dis [this] dae'."
Matthew's pronunciation still leaves a lot to be desired.
"Uh... Cape?" I guessed hopefully.
"No. Dis tape [cape, motioning towards the one he was wearing]. Dae'."
"Jake? Day?"
"No. Dae'."
I repeated my earlier guesses but I was drawing a blank. Usually at this point Matthew would get increasingly frustrated. Instead, he explained himself:
"Dae'. You tant [can't] go troo [through] it."
"Oh! Gate!" (Normally the purpose of gates is to be passed through, but Matthew meant it was impassable without his august permission.)
"Yes. Dae."
Crisis averted.
