While riding in a taxi cab today, Anna noticed two dogs running on the sidewalk beside us. She said, "Oh, look. I wonder if those dogs are strains." Then she noticed a guy catching up with them and said. "Nope, they’re not strains. There is someone taking care of them."
Meanwhile, Sarah still pronounces many words in her own unique way.
For example, the two basic flavors of ice cream for Sarah are chocolate and granilla.
She recently was singing a song entitled "The Cat Came Back" in this way:
"The cat came back, thought he was an honor. The cat came back the very next day." I had to explain that the word was actually "goner" not honor and then I had to explain the meaning of the word goner. It was quite an amusing exchange.
Then Sarah keeps us laughing with a steady stream of e-cause (instead of because) dis (instead of this) and kitty-up (instead of giddy up, as in ‘giddy up horsey’…). I’ll have to keep track of some of the other interesting words and dialects I hear coming from the mouths of these little ones. They say the darndest things.
yeti speak...
