M has trouble pronouncing some sounds as most toddlers do. We were at church yesterday and we were looking through a book to keep her seated and quiet. We came to a picture of a truck. And as loudly as she could she yells "Fuuck!". I think my whole face turned instantly red and I could feel myself sweating alittle. Everyone turned to look at us. So I lowered down to her to say no that's not we pronounce that. But she kept on say "fuuck, fuuck, daddy's fuuck (DH has a truck)". So very quickly I got up and walked M out of the auditorium.
I know everyone understands that she doesn't know what she's saying but wow it really was embarassing.
Re: Funny but alittle embarassing story
Hahaha, that's hilarious! I'm sorry you got embarrassed, but trust me, there are many others that have been there!
B is repeating everything we say, so I feel for you.
That's too funny, at least you know you're not the only one who's been there!
JJ's been saying what sounds like "Sh!t" for a couple of weeks. Not quite sure what he's saying just yet, but it certainly does sound like a really bad word. My mom gave me the side eye when he said it on Saturday, but I never say that word at home, so...yeah.
This will make for a funny baby story to tell when she gets older.
If this is in response to me...
The mother I spoke about has a child that is a bit older and she should be table to say truck properly by now, and since her husband is a student the university offers speech therapy for free for students who have kids with that type of need.
Jamie~I'm on the same page.
OSUWifey~maybe he's saying shirt or this? Who knows?
I had to have Aidan point to things that I just couldn't get. Like vacuum. When he would say it, it would come out as boken. I never would have put that together so when he would say boken I would have him point to what he was saying. You never know what sounds they hear lol. They'll grow out of it though.
hopefully that is the worst of it!
H's old boss was a rather large man and V sat on his lap once and looked at him and said "boobies!" I was mortified. He repeated it so it wasn't even like I could pretend it was a fluke or something. He also did that to a rather well endowed woman at Walgreens.
too funny! I would have been embarrassed, too. That is a really common error. I'm a speech path and we heard so many stories like that in class and in the clinic we had at school.
