Here is a real-life lesson I was recently able to teach my daughter. This is transcribed, verbatim, from a conversation we had while driving the streets of our fair city.Phoebe: "Hey look at that man standing there without his shirt on. Gross!"
Me: "Yes, my darling daughter, but did you note that he is standing in front of a laundromat?"
Phoebe: "Yes, oh wise Father! But why?"
Me: "That man is washing his shirt, my girl. And when it's done, one hopes that he'll put it back on."
Phoebe: "Huzzah! Life is good!"

Yep, I totally bought that...
Phoebe says words like "huzzah"?
You are SUCH a goofball.

Oh, thanks Shakespeare.
RR: My daughter, she is sassy like me.
Susan: Yes, in fact "Huzzah!" was Phoebe's first word as a baby. Immediately afterwards she filled her diaper and let me tell you, there was no more huzzahing after than.
Oh, yes there was. Me when I was changed.
Whoops plt was supposed to say that.
