Conversations with my Daughter: Avocado

What’s this, mummy?

An avocado, Reya.

Abocado?

A-VO-cado angel. It’s got a V in it.

…

Mummy?

Yes angel?

I’ve looked but I can’t find a V in it anywhere.

Not there angel.

Is the V in the kitchen?

No angel, it is in the name. Say after me… A.

VO.

VO.

CA.

CA.

DO.

DO.

That’s right. Avocado

Abocado.

Oh for pity’s sake… here, take this instead.

Mummy?

It’s a banana.

Further note: my darling daughter can now pronounce "avocado" and thinks they're delicious. However she still likes to wind us up every so often by going into the kitchen and trying to find that bloody V.

Thanks very much Len, though I am prepared to entertain a fair price for her if you're interested :-)

Thanks, but I think I'll pass on that. It's been nearly ten years since I've had a young'n in the house. Don't think I could handle it these days.
