More Vocab.

[Dadam is showing Cici flashcards with letter sounds on them, and asking if she can think of any words that start with them. The letter is 'c,' but specifically a 'c' that makes an 's' sound; the example on the card was 'city.']

Dadam: Okay, Cici, do you know any words that start with 'c' but make an 's' sound?

Cici [grinning]: 'Cici.'

Dadam: Yep, that's right. Can you think of any others?

Cici: 'Cecilia'!

Dadam: Well, of course. Anything else?

Cici: Um . . . 'singing'?

Dadam: No, 'singing' starts with an 's.'

Cici: 'Sounds'?

Dadam: No, that's also with an 's.'

Cici [after a long pause]: Hm . . . oh, I think I know, but - it's a naughty word.

Dadam: It is? What is it?

Cici: No, I can't tell you.

Dadam: Well, just whisper it to me.

Cici [whispering]: Is it 'shit'?
