Proof there’s a Homer in us all (Simpson, not the poet)
April 8, 2009Recently Besh has begun connecting letter to words. He’s had those foam letters in the tub for a while and sometimes he’ll identify the letters but mostly they were for sticking on the wall, the side of the tub, my head, etc. But in the past week he’s started holding up the foam letters (or pointing out letters in random places) and saying what words begin with them.
That’s the background. Now keep in mind he’s never seen an episode of the Simpsons, and yet we still had this conversation last night.
Besh (holding up a Q): “Q! Q for Quack like a duck. Quack quack!”
Me: “Oh, you’re a duck now?”
“No, it’s a letter.”
“Ah.”
(He holds up a B) “B is for Besher!”
“That’s right!”
(He grabs an M) “M! M for M&Ms!”
“Nice.”
“You know what else?”
“What?”
(He rubs his tummy) “M is for Mmmmmmm…..cake. Yummy yummy!”
