My daughter has always wanted to be able to hold an adult conversation even though she is way too young and does not have the vocabulary to keep up. Her sentences are sometimes part words part noises that sound like words with great expression and hand gesturing.
Sometimes she gets words wrong but if they are big she keeps using them wrong or not. For example. She is convinced that the word for crutches is actually crotches. Now, I have tried to correct her but for some reason in her head the sticks you put under your arms that help you walk when you can't put pressure on your foot or feet are crotches. Now, it isn't like you talk about crutches every day so I had forgotten this little detail tonight as we were out and about and I got quite a shock when I heard my precious angel say....Mommy, look how pretty that lady decorated her crotch for Christmas! Now, I was fully prepared to turn around and see some hoochie mama with twinkly lights on her hoo ha, because you just never know with some people. I was completely relieved to turn around and see a poor child that had wrapped tinsel all up and down the crutch she was using. I yet once again explained to my youngest, Sweetie. Those are called crutches not crotches. What is a crotch mommy? Well, it is your private parts. Without missing a beat she said Oh, I guess you wouldn't want to decorate that for Christmas would you?!
Oh my word I love my baby girl! Such joy she brings me. Don't you dare ask her about this because I wouldn't want to embarrass her. I'm mainly writing it so I don't forget it!
