An Inconvenient Word (by sarah)
Mary is learning to talk - she is doing a combination of English and Lojban often taking just the common sounds from both words and she is emulating Jean's singing etc....
This has led to an unfortunate word that she is happily chanting - it begins with s and ends in t and means poo though obviously that is not what she means - we think she is trying to copy some of the lyrics of Down By the River Side but it is embarrassing! And halarious.
We are ignoring it in the hope she stops doing it as if we make a fuss she'll think its a game and do it more!
