We were in the car headed home from Mom and Dad's, when Anna started saying "Mama!" (She only knows how to do this in a demanding way; we've practiced a nice way, but it won't stick)
We explained that we were picking up pizza for supper. For the remaining 15 minutes of the drive, it was "Cheetah, Cheetah, Cheetah!" followed by a pause, then "Mama! Mama!! Eat." More explanation followed, then more "Cheetah".
When Scott went in to get it, we worked on pronunciation:
Anna: Where Cheetah?
Mama: Daddy's getting the pizza.
Anna: Cheetah! Cheetah!
Mama: Yes! Puh-puh-PEE-tza
Anna: Chuh-chuh-CHEE-tah (repeat exchange twice)
Mama:(laughing) Anna, you're funny!
Anna: Anna punny!
Mama: punny! puh-puh-punny.
Anna: puh-puh-punny
Mama: puh-puh-Pizza
Anna: puh-puh-CHEETAH!!!
So cute! We go through this same thing with Weston all the time. It's one of those things that is almost too cute to correct.
