XQZ me?!

Learning to speak the English language is a difficult task for a small child to undertake. And even if one knows the words, it is often rather hard to say them clearly at 22 months old.

This really hasn't been a problem for our family, as David and I get a kick out of listening to Alexis try to repeat everything we say. Most times it's pretty clear, other times it just sounds like gibberish. ("It's just gibberish folks. Gibberish from an insane person." name that movie)

And then at other times her words sound dangerously close to swear words, and foul language. That's when things start getting embarrassing.

It is quite unfortunate that her pronunciation of the word 'sit' comes out sounding like 's-h-i-t'. It is especially unfortunate when we have company over and she has a fixation on saying 'sit' multiple times in a loud voice.

Just picture an adorable little blonde haired girl with big blue eyes toddling past you. And then picture her shouting 'S-H-I-T' up at you.

Ya.

Being the good, pure-minded Christians we are, we all burst into laughter.

(and yes, I've been working with her to say 'sit' without the 'h'. It might be funny once or twice in our own home, but I would die of mortification if she shouted that out in church.)
