Here we go again....another story from the car.
After their first 3 days of school we went out for pizza. Nothing strange about this. Off and on throughout supper we talked about what they learned, who they played with at recess and regular school stuff. Then as Sydney is recounting her first days as a Junior in high school, I hear the following conversation from the backseat of the Yukon.
Eli, "No, you say it this way... ep s ip a lee."
Lucas, " No! it is espee a lee."
Eli, "uh, uh you say es i plee."
Okay, what are they trying to phonetically say? This went on for about 10 minutes, volume increasing accordingly. Finally I had to stop it because each correction was followed by a punch to the other brothers' arm. The word that our two English language learning sons were attempting to say correctly? especially. Why that was the word who knows, but I'm pretty sure they shouldn't attempt to correct each other for a little longer.....I know, I know it's not gonna happen.
