The past few days Samuel and Katrina have been tormenting Rebekah with her speech. She's got words that just don't sound right. As her mom I know what she's saying but unless you spend as much time with her as I do you probably wouldn't hear those fine nuances I am accustomed to. Nathan and I noticed a little over a year ago that Rebekah doesn't say words that begin with an "S" and another consonant like words that begin with St, Sp, etc. R's are also espeically difficult for her to pronounce.
So Katrina and Samuel keep trying to get Rebekah to say "shirt" normally no big deal, but they realized two days ago that "shirt" sounds more like "Shit". This is apparently hysterical. The other word they torment her with trying to get her to say? "Fork" I'll let you decide what that sounds like without the 'r' sound.
But let's not forget that each of my children have had their "special ways" of saying things. Katrina was famous for "Will my please..." to mean either "may I please..." or "Will YOU please..." or calling StarWars "Star Whores" and finally, her favorite horse movie, Black Beauty was none other than "black Booty"!
Samuel could not say "milk" as a toddler so his word of choice was "Nock". He had a special way of letting us know how he was feeling towards Katrina at any given moment due to the way he said her name: If he was happy and enjoying himself playing with her he called her "Sissy", if he's bored or she's not paying attention to him appropriately, "Kaie" (pronounced Kayee) and finally if he was PISSED off then it was "Attina!!"
