My friend has a 3 year old DD and she is trying to teach her the alphabet a little bit. She is teaching her phonetically which makes a lot of sense, and is using a lot of family names in her alphabet, such as D for Daddy, N for Nanna, J for Jacob etc etc.
We see each other several times a week and are close friends and she wants to include my name in her DD's alphabet, but my name doesn't fit in her phonetic pattern - so she is saying to her "C for Cheryl" rather than, say, "C for cat".
'Cuh for Cheryl' makes no sense whatsoever to a 3 year old and I pointed this out and said I wouldn't be offended at all to be left out of her alphabet, especially as the little girl has an aunty Catherine who could easily be subbed in! But friend is having a strop with me for messing up her thing.
SIBU, right?
