Thirsty?

Now to continue with the food aspect of our new words. Last weeks lesson was to help us with pronunciation. I hope to move on to more food words this week. There are so many of them! We are going to go over beverages with Grandpas help. Ready? Ok!

Grandpa was jingling some change in his pocket one day. It made noises like CHING, CHA, and such. It was driving Grandma crazy! "I am going to leave this room right now! I am going to make me some plain tea." She bellowed after a few minutes of his noises. CHING CHA is what Grandma desired to make to get away from Grandpa. Plain tea.

She pounded around in the kitchen. As she grabbed the tea pot, she knocked a pan out of the cabinet. "TONG!" the pan made that sound. Great compliment to Grandpa's change jingling at that time. Grandma held her breath and counted to ten. "Maybe I will add some sugar to the tea. It sometimes helps me feel a little better." Sugar is what TONG means.

After Grandma was settled with her tea, The baby was brought over. "Grandma could you watch the baby for me? I have a few errands I have to run." "Of course!" The mere sight of the baby calms Grandma! "This child needs a diaper change!" She then started out changing the babies diaper. "PEE JEW! Baby this diaper smelly welly!" Grandma spoke to the baby in baby talk as if it could understand her better. Just then Grandpa walks by. "I am getting a beer." Beer is what PEE JEW means. "GEE YOU a smelly baby!" The baby must have understood this because it let out a wine. Ok not a mispelling! You try working out that GEE YOU means wine in this story!

Ok here is an easy one to remember. Coffee is very close to how we pronounce it. COFFAY is how they pronounce it in China. I didn't think you would need a story for this one. COFFAY SUH is the word for brown. If you drink too much coffe it turns your teeth brown. Not too hard to remember that one!

Another easy one. Cocoa, it is pronounced KUH KUH. See there are some words that are close enough you don't need a story to remember them!

The baby is trying very hard to talk. Sometimes it even sounds like words! "KNEE OOH NIGH" "Grandpa! The baby is talking!" "That is nonsense baby is too young to talk."
