The Mitchionary #4

My little sponge.
We've been watching our language around here, because it doesn't take long to realise how attentive and non-selective a two-and-a-quarter-year-old can be. Having said that, I was pretty impressed when Mitch refered to Karl Stefanovic as 'a nob' a few weeks ago. Here are a few poetic examples of what our chewable little bloke has sucked up from books, telly, music and twenty million pieces of junk mail (known as 'Mitchell's letters'):
