Word Of The Week

'Sharing' Mummy's hiking boots

Abbey's Word of the Week this week is...

Share verb
Pronunciation: Sair
Usually meaning 'to use, occupy or enjoy something jointly with another or others', in this context it is used as 'give it to me. Now.'
A not-quite-two-year-old does not yet grasp the full meaning of the word, but she has taken to using it quite frequently. For example, if she takes something she shouldn't have and I take it from her, she'll say, 'Share'. If we're in the supermarket and she wants to grab something off the shelf and I ask her not to - 'Share'.
And this is always said in a very mother-like tone, complete with raised eyebrows and voice inflection, proving how very parrot-like a toddler can be.
