I am going to make a picture. I will make it one detail at a time. So if I was drawing a duck I might draw a triangle first. Then you would guess what I might make with a triangle. Then I would draw one more detail until you guessed. Then another if you still couldn't guess it.
*blinks* huh. I always thought it was the other way around... For, like, ever.
I don't think saying, "Hand me a dice." sounds right. And I thought it was the other way around too, but only until I read an instruction manual that stated: Roll the die.
