I'll admit, there are a few times when Dd surprises me with a word she uses.

One thing that this makes me wonder about is whether we hear in "patterns," much like it is suggested that we read words in groups or patterns? If so, then gifties would tend to disrupt our patterns a bit, wouldn't they? smile

Another favorite is when she uses a word, usually correctly, and then turns to me and says, "Did I use ______ correctly in that sentence?" LOL!
