Katlaughing, I care for my 24 month old great niece who is also learning to talk, which can be roaring fun. Sometimes the joke is most assuredly on Auntie & Mommy!
A few months ago she began to repeat some words we were saying, so I mentioned to her Mommy that we should seriously watch our "colourful metaphors." Shortly after that, when Mommy said "sh**" (not loudly) in the middle of an children's carnival, our little one enunciated it correctly and vociferously. Whoopsie!
Right now, she has a favorite song which is a mixed up version of Kumbaya & Itsy Bitsy Spider-melodywise & lyric wise. It's pretty funny when she sings in front of people & they can't quite figure out what she is singing, but they say it sounds familiar--why, of course she is singing Itsy Bitsy Kumbaya Spider!
