Further linguistic confusion

13 June, 2006
Posted in: Princess

The Princess loves to identify cars. For a while I thought she could identify them side on without even seeing the logo but then I realised that she was identifying them from the hubcaps. This afternoon I drew a diamond shape. It’s like a “rrennot” she said. “A what?” I asked. We continued in this vein for a while with her getting increasingly frustrated. “THE CAR, Mummy”. “Ah, Mummy says rehno”

    Could be worse, could be a ‘wren nalt’….

    i remember my sister once loudly identifying a Pyo-got and we once booked our small car onto a ferry where the girl filling out the booking form thought we drove a citron. (which never runs out of juice, perhaps)

    That reminds me of my Sister and Mother arguing over Swedish. Happy times 😉
