The alphabet just got shorter….
Hate to sound snobbish but since she’s been playing with the kids next door she’s forgotten how to say T in a lot of words, started coming out with really awful slang and generally “lowering herself to their level”….
Comes down to that “socialisation” thing and who you want them to learn there social behaviour from, adults or other kids. Hmph!
It got so bad today taht I sent her away with that awful dictate taht I swore I’d never use….
“Go away and come back when you can talk properly to me”
Ooops!
When Tamsin leaves the ‘t’ out of words, I say, “you’ve forgotten your ‘T’, Amsin” and I continue calling her Amsin until she finds her ‘t’ again!
