Pip, supposedly teaching a perfectly capable three year old at the park to talk.
Pip:
Pip: Say Truh!
Three year old: Truh!
Pip: say Ree!
3: Ree
Pip: now say it fast!
3: ...
Pip: now say it fast. Tuhhhree! Tree!
3: tree!
Pip: [gestures at his friend to demonstrate success] Let’s do another. Say Bat!
3: bat!
Pip: skit! [I’m wondering where this is going now...]
3: skit!
Pip: ball!
3: ball!
Pip: now say it fast!
3: ...
Pip: Bat... Skit... Baaaaaaat Skiiiiiiiit ... ... ball! Basketball!
3: basketball!
Pip: very good job. Now we can play soccer.
Glad his little friend was so agreeable for that exchange. Also, I think Pip might be paying more attention to the English classes I teach online than I thought.
