B is for Bojito

I do a little preschool with Lexi twice a week with some other families in our ward with kids her age. Yesterday was my turn to teach. I was reading a bug alphabet book (which was a real hit with the 3 year olds) and I got to the "B" page which looked like this:





I asked if any kids knew what that bug was. Lexi emphatically declared "That is a B for Bojito!!!" Just to be clear bojito is said with an entirely Hispanic accent with the j sounding like an h. And it actually means mosquito. And this picture is really a bumblebee.

There were so many things wrong with her declaration that I just burst into a pregnant belly laugh. Once I wiped my tears away I nicely told her "Yes Lexi, bojito does start with a b sound. Good job Loo Loo."
