Bear Feet

Just a short story today: I told AJ the other day he couldn't come in the garage with me because he had bare feet and I thought it was dangerous. I turned around to make sure he was listening and waiting in the house. Well, he was looking at me very strangely and then looking at his feet. So I said again, "You need to wait inside so you don't step on anything and hurt your feet." He looked at me and said, "Mom I don't have bear feet." Well I thought he was just arguing so I kind off ignorned it since he was sitting on the step waiting for me and still staring at his feet. Well once I found what I was looking for and headed back in and he said once again that he didn't have bear feet it finally dawned on me that he probably didn't know or understand the word bare.... the only bare he knew was bear. So I explained to him what bare meant and I think he got it, but he was still kind of giving me that look like I'm not a bear mom! I makes me laugh everytime I think about it.
