she has the soul of a poet.

Yesterday Malin picked out a piece of watermelon to eat, looked at it and said, “Mom, look at this trampede of seeds!” Today I asked her if she knew what the word trampede meant. She thought a minute and said, “It’s like a whole bunch of people running right at you really fast!”

So she meant stampede. Either way, trampede or stampede, I was pretty impressed that she would take that word out of its typical context and apply it to seeds in a watermelon.
