Listening to any toddler can be quite hilarious. Emily has several words that sound a bit too close to curse words.
Eric leaves for work on a rainy/overcast day. Emily says, "I want go Daddy in Emily fruck!" ("fruck"=truck, but hearing it, you'd think she's saying the other word!)
After playing barefoot in the yard, Emily screams. Questioning her about what had happened, she proclaims, "A-- bite me." (seriously, she was trying to say "ants" but it really and truly sounds more like we have a donkey in the yard.)
So, I'm constantly trying to work on her enunciation. Hopefully the uninformed passer-by won't think that we allow those words in our home.
Sadly, she has picked up on a "mormon swear" word. She hears "darn it" from a family member when she goes to visit. It isn't said in a bad tone, but it still isn't a good phrase to use and especially out of a 2 year old's mouth.
