幼年

幼 = 力 + 幺 : Mnemonic symbol: a kindergarten.

Maud Younger (y) is taking care of a kindergarten (幼) in the outhouse's bathroom (ou4). To keep the young (幼) children busy she plays blackjack with them, each time dealing a card by pressing a power button (力). To make life not too hard for them, she is exclusively dealing aces (幺).

年 = 午 + 丨 + 一 : Nefertiti (ni) is having lunch (午) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). Unfortunately they didn't have any cutlery left so she has to use a dinosaur bone (丨) and a flute (一) instead of fork and knife. It will take her a whole year (年) to finish her lunch this way.
