how do you explain it?

Levi is always very excited to see who gets what under the tree. Any unfamiliar present that is placed beneath the tree is almost immediately recognized as new, and Levi wants to know to whom it belongs. I always say, "It's to _______." He is then a little confused and says, "No, Mom, there is only one of __________. There are not two of __________."

So I thought that I would be smart and explain that when something is to someone, it doesn't mean that they are two years old, but indicates that the present is for them. He looked at me and said "Hey! I am four!"

That's hilarious. Kids have such a different perspective on things, don't they?
