A Mole, But Not an Animal

The other day T started prodding a smallish mole I have on my jaw line.

"It's a mole," said I.

"Aa'mal!" said T.

No doubt he thought I said "animal" instead of "a mole" but I still tried to explain that some words have two meanings and that some moles are animals, but some moles are spots on peoples skin. Although T shows incredible intelligence for and 18-month-old (in my less than humble opinion as his mother), I suspect my explanation still came across as gibberish as several times a day he reminds me that there is an "animal" on my face.
