“Temote”

“Cute” does not begin to describe my life when I am with a two-year old granddaughter. Hearing our adult selves in toddler-speak is adorable and a good reminder to watch our tongues!

Last night my little charge had a remote, the kind that turn LED candles off and on. They’re colorful and tiny. Last week she was pretending the remote was her phone and taking pictures with it. “It’s just be-tend, Gramma.” When I asked her about it yesterday, she said, “It’s my temote.”

“Oh! Remote,” said I.

“No, Gramma.” Then she placed her hands in her lap, looked at me and said, “Say, “temote,” like this. Can you say, “temote?”

I’m sure I’ll be in for many more lessons with this one!
