How to Know Your Mother is a Voice Teacher

We've recently been playing a game with Sam where we name a letter and see if he can come up with a word that letter starts with. We usually play this game with his letter books, though the Elmo computer game is a much preferable way to play because he gets to sit at the computer and push letters. He's getting pretty good at the whole "a letter equals a sound equals a word" equation, although it does lead to some interesting conversations. This afternoon, for instance, Joy asked Sam, "What does U stand for?

Sam's reply? "U is for uvula!"

Only the son of a voice teacher.
