The Kid's Mind

Jared is in Kindergarten and is beginning to put sounds with letters. One night we were playing Go Fish with the letter cards - matching upper and lower case letters. The rule was, when you got a pair you had to say the letter sound. Jared was having trouble with the letter "L". So I told him the sound and gave him some examples like lemon, look... He then said "Oh, and dumb" I said, "no dumb starts with a "D", but that is not a nice word to say anyway." He then proceeds to tell me with his hand stuck to his forehead in the shape of an L, "You know like in the song on Shrek." (She was looking kinda dumb with the shape of an L on her forehead)
