Eva: "NOOOO... not wace cars - wacers! With pencil and wacers!"
Me: Ooooohhh.... erasers!"

Case Study #3:
Eva: "Mommy! Today Papa took me on the estimator!!
Me: `The what??"
Eva: "The estimator!! It went up and down and up and down, all the days!"
Papa, splitting a gut in the next room, emerges to tell me that is how she pronounces 'escalator'.
