Princess of modifiers

My daughter's very verbally gifted. I tell people it's because Mommy and Daddy are big talkers and we don't ever dumb down our speech for her.

Consequently, at 2 years and 7 months, Claire has been experimenting with the use of words like "eventually," "seriously," "generally," "obviously," "hopefully," "in order to," "because of," "therefore," and "sometimes." She uses them correctly about 75% of the time. Actual examples:

- "When the mooon comes down, I eventually go to bed."

- "Generally, I want strawberries for breakfast, but I want baby tomatoes this day."

- "Hopefully we go to the little zoo today, Daddy."

- "I have dry underwear today. Seriously!"

- "Sometimes I poop in my underwear, but obviously it's stinky."

(* I edited this post from the original one because people reminded me of other adult phrases she uses.)
