Lawyer Kid Anecdotes: Is That a Defined Term?

Another lawyer kid anecdote, about the same three-year-old daughter of two attorneys who was the subject of our last story.
Here it is:

The other night at dinner, [X] had several carrot pieces on her plate. I told her that she couldn’t have any more pasta until she finished “all those nice big carrots.”

She ate one more carrot piece, then demanded a second serving of pasta. When I pointed out that she hadn’t finished her carrots, she argued that the remaining ones were too small to be considered “big” — and therefore didn’t qualify as carrots she had to eat before getting more pasta.

BRILLIANT. If she doesn’t go into litigation, this kid could grow up to be a great corporate lawyer. Is “big carrot” a defined term? Are the required dimensions or weight of a “big carrot” spelled out anywhere within the contract?
For that kind of genius, give her an entire plate of April Bloomfield’s renowned sheep’s-milk ricotta gnudi. We expect her to ace the LSAT in a few years — by the time she’s in third grade.
Yes, she’s only three years old right now. Scary.
