Thanks for posting that Roberta, it was very interesting.

I also agree with you Danny.  When I read that specific paragraph I was thinking to myself "this lady doesn't have kids".  I can't imagine my kids not using kid words in their everyday life.  There are so many words they can't say "correctly" anyway so why make it more difficult for them.  I had to chuckle!  :)  I can't imagine my three year old saying "excuse me mother, I need to urinate in the water closet."  (LOL).  Instead he would use the "child" version and say he has to go "potty" which is another cute :) child name for an object.

The rest of it was very interesting.  Isn't it neat how all children are different.  Kind of like snowflakes... no two alike.

Peace :)
