The word is "Blitz"

So, most of us knew this was going to happen...Maddy's diction is not exactly that of a full grown, semi-educated adult person. She's certainly making that she'll be 20 before I know it. But anyway, cracker is cackoo...outside is owsigh...apple is appoo. She does pretty good with words like banana (nana) and doggie (screaming it from the top of her lungs), but progress and it breaks my heart to know there's one word that belies her innocent demeanor. A word that calls out to her best buddy and at the same time emasculates him on the spot. That word? Blitz.

Originally, she was getting the BW part down just fine and although she never really mastered the TZ, we were getting a good "BWISH" out of her. Then it evolved (or devolved...I don't know) into "BWEE." I still hear it throughout the house when she's trying to give him one of his toys or a piece of her unwanted (enter name of food item here). But now, for some reason, the nom du jour is a resounding and echoing (I don't have too much furniture in my house) "BITCH."

I hope she'll get it right before it causes too much damage to the still young and impressionable Blitz. I have counselors standing by just in case.

From the mouths of babes...
