Truth or Consonants

Anna (6) and I have been working on the letter H.

So, this afternoon, we were playing a little game together where she tried to think of everything on her person that began with the letter of the day. And she was doing very well, with only a little bit of hinting on my part.


She got "Heart" right away.


And "Hands."


And "Hair."


But then she was stumped.


So I gave her a little Hint, pointing to that area on the side of her little frame, between her waist and her thigh.


And, you know what she said?


Take a guess.

Nope.


Seriously, you couldn't possibly guess.



She said



SPLEEN!





Ahahahahahaha!


I didn't know she had ever even heard that word!

(And, NO, I was not looking for the word you're thinking, kids! Sheesh!)

It was Hip. I wanted her to say Hip.

But, spleen? Where did she get spleen?

I still laugh every time I think of it.

(But, yeah, we need to work on that H sound a little more...)
