B-I-N-G-O
What would happen when your two-year old daughter saw the film "Finding Nemo" before ever listening to the children's song "Bingo"?
Answer: She would think Nemo is spelt B-I-N-G-O.
There is a phrase where it goes, "B-I-N-G-O... and Bingo was its name-o". As far as Azmina is concerned, "Bingo was its" could easily mean "that's how you spell". Just as we had trouble a few months ago in teaching her the difference between the letter M and N, she still thinks "name-o" and Nemo are one and the same.
At times, I would ask her what B-I-N-G-O would spell, and Azmina would answer Nemo (as opposed to name-o) every time.. without fail... in full self-confidence.
The choice between correcting your child and leaving them for your amusement is one of the perks of being a parent.
