When the kids were tiny, we would have visits from the PAT (Parents As Teachers) counselor. She would ask me ahead of time what word we used for the couch, just to make sure she didn’t confuse the kids by using the wrong term. Of course, the funniest part for me was when she showed one of the boys a picture of an iron, and he said that’s for sewing. He’d certainly never seen me pressing clothes, but I do press cloth and seams, etc. when I’m sewing.
