Creative hearing
“Ah gah-gah go ee gay.”
I’m getting better at deciphering William’s poorly-articulated speech. (He has started speech therapy, so we’re hoping for steady improvement.) I’m getting better — I’m smart, I’m intuitive, I’m creative — but I am not psychic, and sometimes nothing short of mind-reading is going to break the code. This one?
“Ah gah-gah go ee gay.”
A mystery. Neither the context, nor questions, nor observation enabled me to understand that one. (Guess away, if you must; you’ll be wrong.)
Emma (my youngest, 16) chortles. “The fun thing about William’s speech is that you get to decide what you just heard. For me, just then? He said,
‘I’ve got a goat. He’s gay.’ ”
It’ll do.

It's Not All Mary Poppins 
From years of deciphering my son’s speech, I’m going to go with “I’m going to go away.”
But I like Emily’s version better!
Looks good, but doesn’t fit the context. I like Emma’s, too — made me laugh.
Sorry, I mean Emma! It’s early out here!
Mwah-ha. Not that it matters: neither are her real name…
“I gotta go…be gay.” Best I can do- even with Emma’s “help”!
As in happy and carefree, of course. 🙂
Hahahaha, so great! Especially the Farmville connection.
I wondered if anyone would catch that! I’m a fan of the game, and the tots loooooove it. Whenever Mary plays, we sing “Old MacDonald”, so it’s a Quality Daycare Activity! Yes, yes it IS.
Maybe, “I’m gonna go this way.” (But the goat comment is WAY better!)
I’m a fan of the goat.
LOVE the goat.
