Building Cathedrals
I wish I kept a journal of the memorable mispronunciations in the 18 month-4 year period… I am finding that Bella, almost 4, has mostly outgrown this. Bean, fortunately, has not!
His favorite character these days is Miss Cruella Clavel, the lady who both wants the 101 Dalmations’ “furry coats” and watches over twelve little girls in two straight lines, the smallest of whom is “Madelion”. I’m sure only a story-loving two year old could conflate the names of Miss Clavel, a French nun running an orphanage for little girls, and Cruella de Vil, “that devil woman” who dog-naps the dalmation mother’s newborn puppies to skin them.
Any other good ones to share?
