If you can't say it right......don't say it at all??

Laila has a weird fascination with benches. I don't know why?? Unfortunately, she is not able to actually say the word bench. It comes out sounding like what some people call a not very nice woman.....bi**h(for those slow ones) Soooo....I had to take Laila to the doctor last Thursday because she woke up with a fever and complaining her body hurt, specifically her head and neck. I was worried flu or even meningitis(yikes). Luckily, they said she just must be getting a cold or something. The next day she was fine. Anyway, outside of Laila's pediatrician's office there are a bunch of benches. Leaving the office that day, there were a couple family's hanging around outside. As soon as Laila stepped outside she spotted the benches and yelled "look at all those b*t*hes!! 1, 2, 3 b*t*hes!!" I laughed and said yes there are 3 BENCHES honey.....just in case those people were horrified and wondering what my 3 year old daughter was talking about. haha...I think I am going to miss these times when my daughter is older and able to pronounce things correctly.
