Samantha's teacher Anna told me a funny story: Samantha has a stuffed dalmation puppy named Skippy that is her best friend at school (kind of like Linus's security blanket). The other day she put Skippy in the play oven, closed the door, and said, "Inai, inai, ina ... " then opened the door and said, "Bah!" Those are the Japanese words for peek-a-boo, kind of like, "Hiding, hiding, hiding .... Here I am!"
At first I was mortified at the idea that she would try to cook Skippy in the oven (it could be in her genes -- her grandma did that with a REAL dog when she was a girl) but then I realized Samantha has no idea what an oven is. To her, it's just a place to hide something.
