Words for Toddlers

How do you describe the difference between darkness and shadow? How do you explain the nuance of animated discussion of an annoying topic versus an actual argument?

"Stop talking grumpy, Mommy!"
"It's dark now" as we walk into the shade.

I'm no longer driving to work in what feels like the middle of the night. Soupy grey mornings seem so bright and cheery compared to the drive to work shrouded in secrecy and darkness. I'm trying to live wholeheartedly, embracing the vulnerability, finding my superpowers.
