Thursday evening we were at a party. Craig was getting the boys something to eat when they announced they were thirsty. Craig asked them what they wanted to drink and Collin replied, "HICK juice."
"Hick juice?" Craig asked. He had no clue what Collin was talking about. "I've never heard of hick juice."
But Collin insisted that there was indeed hick juice and that he wanted some. Finally Craig asked him to point to what he meant. Collin led Craig over to an assortment of boxes of Hi-C fruit juice.
Collin is in first grade and it's been drilled into him for a long time that when he doesn't know a word, he should sound out the letters to figure out what the word says. So, to him Hi-C should be pronounced "hick."
We got a kick out of this.

That is a story that should be sent in to Parents mag... for the Out of the Mouths of Babes sections. That is great and way to go Collin for sounding out those words!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! I laughed out loud. I will never see Hi-C the same way again.
