E2′s current favourite word is “truck” and she shouts it loudly and with absolute glee every time she sees one. Everything bigger than a normal car is a truck: SUVs, vans, city buses, school buses, diggers, tractors, ambulances, and… well, trucks. As we walk down the street, she can’t hide her joy as she points and yells her favourite word every time one passes. As we drive along, her little voice rises excitedly from the back seat every few seconds: “Truck!… Truck!… Truck!”
Except that she pronounces her “tr”s as “f”s.
You can imagine my face as I am pushing the pushchair on a crowded sidewalk and wishing the pavement would open up and swallow me… or her… whomever, just so this sound stops. You can imagine my face as, in the privacy of our car, I sit in the driver’s seat trying to control my laughter.
You can imagine my mother’s face the first time she was was sitting in the passenger seat when we passed a truck.
Stumble it!
Ha ha! Don’t you just love it? The way my friend’s daughter said chocolate sounded like ‘cock’ so in the middle of a tantrum she’d shout “I want cock!” It was hysterical (for us, her friends, not her).
Too funny!!!
LOL! Audrey says ‘cock’ for socks and at one point coke (soda) was ‘cock’ as well. I think its hilarious. Which reminds me I need to get that videotaped so that I can torture her in front of friends when she’s a teenager. bwahahaha!
