Our precious Amelie has adopted what every child in the universe has done before her, that is: repeating everything you say. An important fact at this point is that Amelie loves the Philadelphia Phillies and watches all their games that she possibly can along with her Daddy.
Today, while I was babysitting, she was engaging in the 'copying' game, as she calls it, and as I was trying to think of a way to stop it, I was hit with a stroke of genius! The next statement out of my mouth was:
"I hate the Phillies."
"NO GRANNY!!! Don't say that! That's a bad word!"
[Ooops. I forgot myself and said the word hate. I pressed on:]
"Ok. The Phillies stink!"
"NO GRANNY!!! The Phillies don't stink!! Stop saying all these bad words about the Phillies!!!"
So, the good thing is that I got her to stop 'copying' me. The bad thing is that she thinks her Granny says bad words!
