"Hannah Montanas"

There are always those few mispronounced phrases that a child says - either because they can't make all the phonetic sounds, or they are wrongly repeating what they thought was said. Enjoying it until they realize their phrase is nonsense, I assume they'll eventually grow out of saying it.

I was surprised when one such misunderstood phrase was repeated by Meg, yesterday. I repeatedly corrected her months ago, but it looks like this one's still stuck. It always comes up when she is explaining a butterfly picture she has just drawn. Such was the case with her most recent chalk drawing on the back patio (duck and fish in a blue pond, surrounded by flowers and purple-winged butterflies).


Pointing to the obvious antennas, she always questions, "see the Hannah Montanas?" Ha. Yes, I do!

I just smile and am grateful that those are the only "Hannah Montanas" that have made it into our home. If things follow my influence, the curly swirls above a butterfly's head are the only "Hannah Montanas" that will ever be promoted here! :)
