Andrew seems to me to be a little young to be quibbling about word-definitions with lawyerly exactness--nevertheless, that is what he did today! My parents were planting a tree in the back yard and Andrew, with his usual gift for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, was right in the thick of things. My dad finally told Andrew to stay on the grass. So Andrew put one foot on the grass, and with his other foot, he reached as far as he could towards the hole for the tree, so he was straddling the edge of the lawn.
My dad asked, "Andrew, are your feet on the grass?"
Andrew responded with incontrovertible logic, pointing at the foot that was still touching the grass, "This foot is."
