On Saturday Greg and I voted in the state election. When we told Maya that we were going to vote she was oddly excited. Then afterwards she was upset because when we said "vote" she heard "boat".
And where was that boat we had mentioned?!
Trying to explain that we said "vote" and not "boat" was impossible.
"We said vote", we said.
"Yes boat", she said.
"Vvvvvvvvvv ote", we said.
"Boat", she said.
And it's not just the word vote.
The other day she asked me what something was. "It's a cable", I replied. "Oh and this is a table too", she explained, pointing to our table.
How do you distinguish between two words that sound similar and obviously sound the same to her?
