Learning about "closed" and "tangles"

Today we were going to take Callie to the YMCA to go swimming.  Little did we realize that it is a holiday and they would be closed.  As we pulled into the parking lot, she claps and yells "Swimming!"  We quickly respond, we can't go swimming, they are closed.  And then we hear a quiet, questioning "Play?" meaning go play in the child care area.  As we are leaving and attempting to explain to her that they are closed, she starts sobbing.  Really sobbing.  Crocodile tears streaming down her face.  Mike and I felt horrible.  We tried bribing her with hot chocolate.  No change.  Then Mike had the brilliant idea to go back, get out of the car and look in the window to see that no one was there.  That saved the day.  We left the YMCA with smiles, Callie saying "No one's there!" and on our way to get hot chocolate.

And tonight while getting ready for bed, Mike started to brush Callie's hair.  She immediately said "No Daddy" to which Mike replied "Yes, we need to get the tangles out of your hair."  Callie stopped, cocked her head sideways, stared at him and said "Rectangles out of my hair?"  She was really confused as to how there could be rectangles in her hair!
