Plural words

Cooper:  Mommy, daddy told me when there are lots of gooses they are called geese and when there is only one they are called gooses.

Me:  Yes, that sounds about right.  Did you know that when there are more than mouse you call them mice, but if there is only one you call it a mouse?

Cooper:  Well what do cats chase, like on Tom and Jerry?

Me:  They chase mice.

Cooper:  No they chase mouses because they only go after one.

Me:  Well then you have to say the cat will chase one mouse.

Cooper:  I like learning new languages.  Sometimes I know the words and sometimes they are new words.
