The Importance of Diction

This evening, downstairs while waiting for paperwork to be dropped off by the accountant...

EVA: Baba...I hear a fuck!
BABA: A WHAT?!
EVA: I hear a fuck...it loud.
BABA: You hear a what?
EVA: A fuck baba, a fuck! Outside! It loud!
ROSE: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeee! (running past us both being very busy)
BABA: Eva...you mean a truck?
EVA: YES BABA! A truck. It vewy LOUD!

Diction is an important skill to teach your children...especially before they enter into day-care!

They take after your mother, Baba. That's what I called trucks as a toddler and embarased your poor grandmother no end. I also refered to water as wee-wee.

Hi Mike

Jack is saying exactly the same thing. The other day in the car the windows were down and stopped at the lights he screamed "what a big fuck". A lady standing on the footpath nearly choked.
