C-isms

I love the way little kids maneuver the English language to suit their understandings. Here are a few of the things we've been hearing around our house lately (along with the translation)

Twinkibird (Tweety Bird)
Elegator (Elevator)
I begive you (I forgive you)
Bgraffe (Giraffe)
Pangaroo (Kangaroo)

My favorite thing we've been hearing lately though, is not one of the words that has been reformed, rather a statement heard at meals.

"Mommy, we have to pray!"

When we had a family over for dinner a week or so ago, C and their little girl sat at their own table. While the adults prayed, the girls joined hands and C could be heard: "Dear God. Thank you for food. Thank you for good today. Thank you for thank you for. Amen."

I know, I know...

Yes, I know that I need to post an update in here. There will be one soon. Maybe later tonight. For now, I'm too tired to write something interesting and insightful...even if I finally do have time to do so. So, I'm promising that an update will be forthcoming, but I'm just not sure when.
