I've got this really cute and awesome niece, Caslea, who's five years old. She's also really smart. Recently she was asked to write down all the fun things she wanted to do over the weekend, and using her prodigious phonetics skills, this is what she came up with (I understood all except one):
- go swimeeg
- go to a reschot
- woch a movy
- hav fun
- play the spanish game
- ol uv us get a penny
- be nise
- play with eech uther
- go bulleeg
- go to the pork
- play gams
- eet canndy
- go to chuckee cheese's
- bee happy
- by donut's
- eet food
- mak lemenad
- get lecerish
- do a pordy
- mac stuff
- blow bloo's
- mace a cayk
- go to disnlee land
- have a pnicnik
- play with zeeko
- if someone left, mak a spis
- go to the museeume
- go on a chresher hunt
- jres up
- go to sleep
- jreec lemunad
My favorite phonetics: "chresher hunt", "jres up", "jreec lemunad"
Activities I most want to try: "go to the pork", "ol uv us get a penny", "do a pordy"
She's only in kindergarten, but it's pretty awesome how she figures this stuff out. She's obviously smarter than I was, I don't think I learned how to write like that until second grade....if ever.
Also, I think her list would make for an extremely divertive weekend; next time I need some quality fun I'll refer to it. Thanks Caz!
Hahaha I love this! And she is right! We do sort of say "drink" with a "jr" sound. Amazing! At least she was consistent in her use of the "jr" sound for "dr." Very funny.
ReplyDeleteHaha That's awesome!!!
