Pronounced "toat" or "tote" depending on who's spelling -- it's German for "dead."
The other day William was squatting on the kitchen floor, and he noticed a few tiny ants crawling on the tile. With his little pointer finger, he squished them gently but firmly, and proclaimed each one "tot" as he did so.

ReplyDeleteOkay, Mirjam, commenting in German is cheating!!
ReplyDeletesorry sue, William learned the word "dead" from a German children's book where the Soup-Caspar didn't eat his food and he died. At the end you see his little grave. Morbid much? :)
ReplyDeleteWow.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a scary story.
