Child pronounces this food's name as 'Case of Idea'
You know that period when your kids are growing up and you are not quite prepared for their growth...
Pronunciation is something that not everyone gets on the first take. If you are a pronunciation guru, then you will know that it can take a few runs before getting it right.
Remember that period when your kids first start talking and say 'cinonoculars' instead of binoculars? It's not always binoculars, but each parent will have their own version of it in their family.
A mom shared one of the cutest versions on social media from her daughter and we have to agree that we hope she never learns the correct pronunciation either.
Watch how she pronounces 'quesadilla', courtesy of Instagram.
This is the cutest version of quesadilla that we have heard and we vote for it to stick, no offence to the creators.
When the kids are still in the process of learning different and new words, they generally associate the way it sounds with the actual word. Sometimes they resonate with the word that is most similar to the new word.
In this case, it was 'Case of Idea', which makes no sense, but in this context, we get it. Isn't it amazing how the human brain learns from association?
