Our four year old had an appointment with the speech pathologist yesterday. The appointment was to assess her speech . After 40 minutes of interview like questions and forms to fill out we found out that our daughter needs to see the speech pathologist weekly and is considered severe.
While we were there the very friendly lady who was working with our daughter showed her some flashcards. The idea was to get our daughter to say what was on the card or what the people/animals on the card were doing. Most were pretty basic and very easy for S to figure out. Two she answered and not only surprised us all but made us laugh with her answers.
The Speech Pathologist showed her this card (similar)
She was expecting S to say that the Horse was jumping. Instead she got “He is trying to escape!” The speech pathologist says “Oh, okay But I think he is just jumping” “Can you say ‘the horse is jumping the fence?’
S replies “Horses do not jump!”
The speech pathologist looks at me and smiles then say “They do jump and they are great jumpers” Still trying to test out the J sound.
S replies “I don’t think so!”
LOL it was obviously time to move onto the next word and flashcard. There was no convincing her. (Add to my to do list to take daughter where she can see horses jumping)
The next flash card was something like this 
The Speech lady looks at S and says “What is in the picture?”
S replies “A lady”
Speech Pathologist asks “What is the lady doing?”
S replies “Calling for help”
Still trying to get her to say “Swimming” She asks again
This time S replies with “She is drowning”
It was very cute and we all had a laugh. Kids have no filter and often see things differently no matter how much we try to convince them otherwise. I often worry about what will come out of my kids mouths when strangers are around.
Have you ever had your kids say something funny or embarrassing?

That was like when we took my oldest to the speech therapist when he was 2 had a brush cut, and daddy has short spiky hair. She showed him a comb and brush, and both times he said those are mommys. Wouldn’t say what they were called, and she looked at him and said yup I guess you don’t need them, eh?
Oh and when they showed my youngest a mug, he says “Coffee, no touching Justin” and tapped his hand. We giggled pretty hard about that.
That is too cute! They sure say the funniest things! I’m almost embarrassed to list some of them here! LOL!
LOL so cute… he looks like he is trying to excape, LOL
Adorable
Funny!
I am a Speech-Language Pathologist, and I was once helping a little girl with her /k/ sound. We were going through a sheet of pictures (each of which started with the/k/ sound) and I was having her say the words. We got to one with a picture of a man wearing a cast. So ‘cast’ was the target word. She didn’t know the word cast but knew she had to say something that began with the /k/ sound. So she said ‘k-person’! Funny!
LOL love it! Keep these coming
