Cooper's pronunciation is usually quite good, especially for a toddler of his age, but some things are still really hard for him to say. He drops certain consonants and replaces others at random. This makes for moments of hilarity around our house sometimes.
A few days ago, Matt walked into the house after puttering around the yard and garage for a while. Cooper pointed right at him and said, "Dog Shit!" Matt's eyes opened wide and he said, "Excuse me?" to which Cooper clearly enunciated, "DOG SHIT! DOG SHIIIIT!" Very quickly, I was in tears from laughing too hard. Matt was laughing, too, but he was also trying to talk to Cooper and figure out what the heck was going on. Then it dawned on me, as I glanced at Matt. He was wearing a shirt with a huge Siberian Husky logo (for Powderhound Ale, a local beer) on the chest. Cooper's love for talking about clothing had led him to remind Matt that he was wearing a "dog shirt."
Also, Cooper pronounces Juice as, unmistakably, Douche. Yup. "Orange Douche! Num!"
Enough said.
