Although my sweet Comedian talked at a young age, it took ages before we truly understood her. And, once we did we found ourselves interpreting her sentences for others.
At four-and-a-half she now has what I, an elementary ed teacher, would call age appropriate language skills. However, she has held tight to a few cute mispronounciations, prounoun manipulations, and noun substitutions.
So, do you want to learn to speak Comedian? All right!
LESSON ONE:
Hes (hees) adj. The possessive form of he. Bears a striking resemblance to the usage of 'his' in proper english. Rhymes with 'bees'. Used as a modifier to indicate ownership before a noun: hes shoes, hes momma, hes school, etc.
Now you try it! Oh - come on, it's fun!! Ok, no hands - try this cloze exercise.
"If you can't find your umbrella, borrow ___"
Or this one,
"Momma, ____ shirt is dirtier than _____"
Fun, isn't it? Oh, and being the totally consistant literary child that she is, this prounoun mutation also aplies to 'hers'.
BONUS POINTS: How does Comedian prounounce her version of 'hers'?
Stay tuned for LESSON TWO - 'Leaves'

Bear is 6: serious, organized, my cruise director and my time keeper.
The Comedian is 4: She is pure comedy always doing something unintentionaly funny that I attempt to put into words.
Enjoy our stories, conversations, and delights as we embrace the lives of our second and third daughters without ever negating our first.

So cute. My youngest son says Hoe-towel for "Hotel".
Too cute. Gabe says broking instead of broken.

Well now - and I thought that would be easy!
Apparently speaking Comedian is harder than I thought...
The answer was 'Shes' - still rhymes with bees.
LOL
