21 months - one hand, two hands

there's a story from our breakfasts that shows how she's beginning to detect that kids and adults don't do things the same way. we had more or less settled the adults drink coffee (including soft drinks) / baby drinks milk/milo issue already earlier.
so this time it was about how we handled glass cups. we told her that she had to use two hands to hold her glass of milk, but then she said "mummy use one hand" when i handed the glass to her. so we had to do all the explaining about how adults with bigger hands could hold fragile stuff with one hand while small kids like herself with smaller hands had to be more careful and use two hands when handling the same item.
so now she says "h small h use two hands. mummy big mummy use one hand. when h is big h use one hand." ok, that arrangement works for me!
