Ambiguity for 4 year olds

The other morning while Jonathan was polishing off the last of his breakfast of cheerios and raisins, he leaned back, sighed and said, "This is a great meal." It was a little unexpected, considering that he eats that every morning, and that he used the word "meal" for it, and it made me smile and say "well thanks, Jonathan." Then he continued, gesturing with his signature open hands for clarity. "Remember the word "great" that means "big?" That's the word I'm saying. So this is a GREAT breakfast." Pause. "You know, like Great-Horned Owl? That's the kind of great I'm talking about."
I had to find a piece of paper and write it all down because it was so classic and funny for him to come up with that whole speech. So next time you offer someone food and they tell you it's a great meal, remember the possibility of ambiguity, and try to hold back from assuming it's a compliment. :) I like that Jonathan a lot.
