"Hammer = awesome uniqueness" -- that's fascinating! I know kids often focus on one aspect of a word's meaning to the exclusion of others, but "awesome uniqueness" would not be the first feature that comes to mind.

I'm sorely tempted to call this phenemenon of non-obvious feature choice the "hammer pants problem" in an academic paper.
