Welcome to our fun club. Today we meet Mia and Leo. They love hanging out. Last Tuesday, Mia built a Lego castle. She clicked bricks together. She smiled and said, "I am being playing to my castle!" Leo sat nearby. He pointed at the castle. He said, "That looks like a potato!" Mia laughed. She said, "Stop being joking to my castle!" Mia used hands to build. Leo used words to tease. Both had fun. See the difference? One does actions. One says funny things. Let us explore why.
