We let the kids watch preschool cartoons while they eat. They eat better, and they're just sitting there anyway. So the other morning they were watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Every episode the characters use a tool called Toodles to help solve problems. The tool contains four items, and they call upon Toodles for help throughout the show.
In this show, one of the obstacles was to pick the largest apple off the tree. They couldn't pull it off, so Mickey and friends starting wondering what they could do. Before even calling for Toodles, which they had used once earlier in the show, Beck started making a pinching gesture with his fingers and saying something I didn't understand. I then realized he was indicating scissors. Lo and behold, Mickey calls for Toodles, and there was a pair of scissors.
Later, Mickey et al have to bring a golden harp back to Minnie, but they can't move it. So they again wonder out loud on what they can do. Beck replies, what sounds to me as, "walking, wh wh wh (sounding out the letter w)." I realized after Mickey calls for Toodles that Beck was saying wagon.
Beck usually just repeats but in this case he was anticipating and answering. Very cool.
