Dictionary Defined

This morning we were rewriting a story using synonymns.  When we were done, I was going to explain to Ethan what a thesaurus is.  But first we had the following conversation:

Me: You know what a dictionary is, right?
Ethan: Um... oh yeah!
Me: A dictionary is book that tells us...  (with a pause to let him finish the sentence)
Ethan: ...what words you can use in Scrabble.

How many six-year-olds would give that response?  Ethan, you are one of a kind ;-)
