Last week, I was on the phone with a friend who has a toddler. For good reason, she often spells words she doesn't want her daughter repeating. Example from our conversation:
Friend: There was lots of drama.
Friend's baby in background: Drama! Drama!
Friend: It was total C-R-A-P.
Friend's baby: Want more water.
So, it works, you see. I've decided to practice this method of parenting, but since Scout is too young to repeat anything, I'm going to do it in a slightly different way. Example from a potential future conversation:
Friend: The guy was a total P-R-I-C-K.
Me: Yeah, that fucking sucks, R-I-G-H-T?
I think it will be good to get a head start on this.

"Friend" and "friend's baby" sound an awful lot like "wife" and "my baby."
Don't worry DZ. She never has to spell when she's talking about you!
If you need to know anything more about "Practice," please check out this video of Allen Iverson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGDBR2L5kzI
