My 3 year old recently acquired a liking for the kids’ show, Bob the Builder. He’ll often tell us in the morning: “I want to watch Bob Builder!” He always leaves out the definite article. However, the humorous bit is this: he can’t, for whatever reason, get the end “b” on Bob to come out quite right. Instead of the correct sound, he gets “mb” – thus, he says bomb instead of Bob. Which, of course, brings the full phrase to:
“I want to watch bomb builder!”
I certainly hope the FBI or Homeland Security hasn’t had a reason to bug our home; if they have, we’re going to have some explaining to do.
