Picture this: a
kindergarten classroom with toys everywhere: books, puzzles, wooden
blocks with ABCs, and other deeply serious learning material spread about
the room. Then, alone in the corner, we have Allie, in pigtails, sitting with a
stack of wooden blocks all with the letter B facing straight up. What's she
doing? She's tapping each block with her finger and yelping "ouch!" Then
fake-crying about it.
