Using the correct word...

Sometimes we use the wrong word in a sentence and we are trying to correct that. Often times we hear someone say mash the button, and we correct them saying by answering with, "We mash potatoes, but I will press the button." Anna Claire thinks this is so funny, and she has began correcting people also.

Last night while the girls were in the bath tub, Anna Claire said, "That is enough water, cut it off." Then I could tell she was thinking. She sat there for a minute, and then said, "Wait a minute, we don't cut the water off. I cut paper. I need to say turn the water off." I was blown away, and asked her who told her that one? I kept asking, "Did your dad tell you that, Did Mrs. Carol teach that in school, Did Kiki tell you that?" Anyone I could think of, I asked about. She said, "No, Mom I have just been thinking and we don't cut things off. That is not right. If we cut them, then they would be broken." I was so proud! She is so smart.

So look out, you better use the correct word around this little girl or she will set you straight! She definitely keeps me on my toes!
