Joshua moved all our animal magnets to one side of the fridge and then had me guess which one he was choosing to move to the other side. I usually got a clue. He would then classify it as a good animal or a bad one.
Joshua: ok, what animal am I moving?
Amanda: uh, can I have a clue?
J: It's a bad guy
A: shark!
J: no
A: tiger!
J: no, you lose. It's a whale
A: A whale isn't a bad guy.
J: oh, ok. What am I moving now? It's a bad guy.
(Amanda has two guesses.)
J: Nope, it's a wolf.
A: That's not a wolf, it's a dog!
J: Nope, it's a wolf.
A: oh
J: ok, next one. It starts with a Rrrr
A: Rhino
J: no
Isaac: Rabbit
J: no. you loose. Lion.

I did get some of them. (Squid) But mostly I didn't get them. Some because Joshua gave me the wrong starting sound, some because I just couldn't remember what we had, and some because he classified the animal as something else. (A weird lizard was a frog and a tapir was a rhino.)
Then Isaac came out of the bathroom.
I:Mom! Look! My body can make a "Y" and some other letters
A: Cool. Can you make an I?
I: yes. My head is the dot.
A: can you make a capital I?
I: yes.
J: me too!
I have no doubt in my mind that they thought they looked just like I's.
They did a few more and it got worse and worse. Joshua was doing a Z but his legs were going in different directions. They tried to make Os, but bodies don't really bend like that.
