Commenting on his trip to the doctor, Benjamin just told us

Monsieur ... oreille ... regarder ...

Which means, literally, "Sir ... ear ... to look." In other words, the doctor had examined his ear. We were impressed with this protosentence, but also noticed that it fit the pattern of a previous protosentence:

Quelqu'un ... bouteilles ... casser ...

Someone ... bottles ... to break — someone had broken some bottles at the playground.

Notice: subject, object, verb — which, as Nathalie points out, is the S.O.V. pattern of Latin.

I guess his classical education is beginning pre-preschool.
