Evangeline has one really cute mispronunciation that I want to remember before I forget

[conuly]

She says "cairon" for crayon. I got bored and quizzed her yesterday:

Me: Can you say "crane"?
Her: C'ane.
Me: Can you say "cradle"?
Her: C'ado
Me: Can you say "crayon"?
Her: Cairon.
Me: Can you say "crazy"?
Her: C'azy.
Me: Can you say... uh...
Ana: Ask her if she can say rock and roll!
Me: *sigh* Can you say rock and roll?
Her: Wock an woll.

So, yes. But crayon, despite all expectations, is consistently cairon.

That is really cute! I find all this language learning stuff fascinating. I really wish I'd majored in linguistics instead of just minoring in it. I want to know MORE MORE MORE!

Kira has trouble with "v"s. Cupboard is covered. Very is revy.So interesting.

Yes, you've said. Go back to school, why don't you? You could stop regretting it, anyway.

Oh, I will eventually. I don't feel sad like I regret it, but rather excited thinking about what else there is...
