For example, switching out the word ‘boot’ for ‘trunk’, or ditching the word ‘rubbish’ for ‘garbage’.
This is something I’ve noticed my 6 year old does pretty regularly. We went through a stage where ‘sweets’ became ‘candy’, ‘holiday’ became ‘vacation’ and ‘courgette’ became ‘zucchini’.
That last one didn’t happen but if you’re still reading you’ve got my respect, or as the Americans might say ‘…mad props’.
I was gonna say, no self-respecting six-year-old wants to even consider zucchini.
That’s pure bullshit, my three boys all like them. 8, 5 & 2
Teach me!
Grow your own, let them help. Then they are eating “their” zucchinis, it helps a lot.
Eat them small and sweet ~15cm (6in) long. Lightly steamed (add a very small amount of salt)/stir fried (last in once everything else cooked).
Over cooking turns them into terrible tasting mush.
