You Be The Judge
January 29, 2007Carter took an interest in letters and the sounds they make at an early age (ok .. at 2 and a half he is still at an early age but you get my drift as the Fonz would say). He is now trying to take things a step further by identifying what letters will start words but he does this by the sound of the letter not the sound the letter makes. Confusing? A few examples.
1) He is correct when he says Jacob starts with a J but not because he hears the ju sound instead he hears “Jay”cob and so it must start with the letter “Jay”
2) This pattern fails him though when he says that cucumber starts with the letter Q because he hears “queue”cumber so it must start with the letter “queue”
Although his reckoning is incorrect I am impressed by his creativity and attention to sounds. He can get easily confused as evidenced in this next video when he believes that the word “off” starts with the letter “F” because of the dominant sound of that letter. This is a long setup to help explain the meaning of the following video and I want you to be the judge of whether this is an attempt at vulgarity or an innocent childhood mistake.
Well .. whaddya think?
