First words from my daughter today:
“Daddy, I noticed the word repair on a bottle next to your bed. Did you know that the r is an r- control syllable exception because the r is supposed to say ‘er,’ but in this case, it sounds like ‘air.’ Neat. Huh?”
I’m not sure which is more disconcerting:
That these are the kinds of things that Clara says to me every morning, or that I’m an elementary school teacher and have no idea what the hell she is talking about.
