And then another half hour of your life wasted blogging about it.
[BlogEntry] Bunnysums
February 21st, 2008 — Family
My 3yr old is very much into what, as far as I can tell, are "bunnysums." I have no idea what these are. One day she was calling her slippers bunnysums. Today after bath she pointed to a bathtoy in the shape of a rabbit and said, "That bunny has very long sums." But when I try to understand what she's saying I get conversations like this:
"Bunny sums, are you saying?" "No, bunny *zums*." It's like a lispy "th" sound. "Bunny thums?" I'm wondering if she's making some sort of Bambi / Thumper connection to the rabbit's big back legs. "No, bunny *sums*!" "Well, how do you spell it?" "K H R R Y." That didn't work.[BlogEntry] There what?

Today in the supermarket I noticed a section of cookies in the bakery. Apparently these cookies were a special that they did not have often, as the sign – a computer generated thingie, not a hand written note – proclaimed "THERE BACK!"
It hurts my brain to read that, it really does. Do people not understand that it's not just bad spelling, but that you've actually created a new sentence (or a fragment of one) that makes no sense? Even if I took 3 seconds to try and parse out what exactly "there back" means before realizing that it's just a stupid person who works in the bakery, that's still 3 seconds of my life wasted because I know how to spell.Sheesh.
