Other Incidents of Word Choice

After preschool today Ms. CP and I were walking to the car with her projects and backpacks.

"Mom, you know," she said, "Thea's dad has a bumpy eye."

"Huh?"

"Thea's dad has a bumpy eye. It's kind of dead so its a bump. It doesn't work so good."

"Do you mean he has a bum eye?"

"No, mom. I'm pretty sure it's a bump. With a P at the end."

Gotta love that phonomic awareness.
