Anyway, Paige's hobby is to watch countless of cartoons and movies, and her current favorite is Mary Poppins. As one would expect, she is constantly singing the songs in the movie.
"spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down..."
"supercalifragilisticexpialidocious..." (although she can hardly pronounce the darn word)
"let's go fly a kite, up to the highest heights"
This afternoon though while I was eating my breakfast/lunch, I heard Paige singing,
"saging, saging, saging
saging, saging, saging
PRUT (fruit) salad
PRUT salad."
Dismayed is an understatement. I literally panicked. I grabbed her and instructed her on the correct pronunciation. Do you think the teacher would mind though if Paige would correct her? I told Paige to tell her teacher the correct pronunciation is "fruit"? For god sakes!

nyay! do so, tere. am very particular about pronunciations din. can still remember the looks madame segarra (syet! lingaw na ako kang spelling nya!) would give somebody if he or she pronounced something wrong. (it's pooh-pooh-reee" not "potpori" and "abatwa" not "abatoyr" you devil-woman of the mountains!) hahahaha!
would definitely not want niko to say "prut" din instead of "fruit."
kadtong aki pa ngani ako, pinapa-spell ko ng alphabet mga nagliligaw ko. hehehe. i don't want to hear an IS for S and a IL for L or a EP for F and a ZEY for Z! hehehe.
iu ngani. nakakapraning! habo pati kuta magsunod sako ta sabi daa kang teacher nia, prut. sabi ko sabihan nia si teacher nia na "eww" pronunciation. hehe. joke.
