Just for Laughs

At the time Ashrie began talking, we also started to stack her up with new words to increase her vocab. We do not have a specific time for lessons but we make sure to use every opportunity to teach her whenever possible. Oftentimes she’ll repeat words that we say, and we usually end up laughing at the words she has come up with. Learning has to be fun after all.

Here are some words that made us smile and wonder at the same time because we don’t know where she got it from…

Us versus Ashrie’s

Fidgety: Fingertips (She’s watching the crafts show)
Moisturizer: Noisy Blender (Well, probably she’ll be using organic, home-prepared ones)
Mighty Bond: Mighty One (Oh, she’s spiritual)

And I got a couple of skits here:

Skit 1:

Mom: “Ashrie, later we’re going to the birthday party of Kenji.”
Ashrie: “No. Ashrie’s birthday!”
Mom: “Don’t be selfish okay? Other kids need to celebrate their birthdays too.”
Ashrie: “Okay.”
Mom: (A bit surprised) “Do you know what selfish means?”
Ashrie: “Yes! FISH!”

Skit 2:

Mom: “Ashrie, Is Daddy handsome?”
Ashrie: “Yes! Hands on!”
