The big and small of it

Last evening I was waiting for the elevator , I was surprised to see this little girl alone inside it.
I asked her," Where's Mummy?" After a moment of thought, she replied, " Small mummy..in the kitchen, and capital mummy ... to the market."

What did she mean? Now you figure that out! :P

    I hope it is not what I am thinking it would be.

    Probably its mom and dad? And the kid refers to dad as capital mummy?

    i think kids become much more funnier when they are in front of you. you seem to bring the best out of them ;-)

    a number of meanings come to my mind, though i wont share them as i dont think i can outsmart a kids mind.. :o) I'd rather watch this space for the correct meaning...
