Sunshine was given this really cool caterpillar toy, Alphabet Pal, for her B-day. Godparents A & C gave it to her. Alphie has 26 legs...one for each letter of the alphabet. If you turn to music, it will play a song that begins with each letter. Very cool.
Well, the Duke and I were playing with the toy the other day and found that it also does phonics. You press "o" and it says "oooo". So we started trying to say words. Pressing c-a-t would make it phonetically sound out the word cat, and even sounded a lot like it. You can probably see where this is going. Well, it won't do it! Alphie won't say bad words. We tried several times thinking we were pressing the letters too quickly. The toy has a safety device to ensure children don't accidentally learn to cuss. If you try to type in a certain four letter word it says "he he he, that tickles".
You know you would have tried it too, so stop judging.

Wow! Sparkle got that for her birthday too! Haven't tried that, but now I may have to! They think of everything, don't they?
BTW,

We're immature too. Tried it on Cousin Zoe's caterpillar at the encouragement of her father.
LOL - we would have tried it!! Reminds me of an old SNL skit about the Phonics train (had Tim Meadows I think)
