My daughter, Anya, is not even four years old...and yet, she has a mouth like a... well, like a dictionary. I guess I have myself to blame for that. After all, the minute she opened her mouth and said her first word...dada...well, I just had to get her something to read!
Do you know she knows more of the weirdest words that I ever heard? I mean, how many parents can honestly say that their three-year-old knows what "synergy" means? Heck, I'm 33...and I can't even pronounce the word, much less know what it means!
And, how many parents can attest to the fact that their three-year-old has already read Black Beauty when they should have been reading Pippi Longstocking? Damn...I didn't read that book until I almost reached puberty!
Now, my son Ilya, almost two, is looking through the dictionary and found his first word in the book...boobs! I tried to tell him that a boob is:
a) a dumb, or stupid, person
b) a creature of lower than limited intelligence, and
c) another word for a television.
He just shook his head.
Do you know what he said? "It's one of those pimples Mommy's got stashed away!!!"
Figure it!
