"I'm building a ship!"
"A rocket ship?"

"I buildin'!" Dominic is proud. His creation is a tower of the small blocks, with occasional larger block thrown in to ensure it falls over whenever he tries to set it down. I create a sturdy base for him.

"I buildin' bocks!"
Milan glances over.
"I'm building a ship, Dominic. Are you building a ship?"
Dominic studies his tower carefully, looks at Milan's 'ship', and studies his tower some more.
"Are you building a ship, like me? Yours is tall like mine. Maybe you are building a ship, too."
"I sink..." another glance at Milan's tower, his brow furrowed in concentration...
"I sink it is bocks."
