Timmy's P-Word

Alright, listen up, you big ol' dummy. So, the teacher, she's trying to teach these tiny humans about letters, right? She asks for words starting with "P." But your brain, just like little Timmy's, probably went all sideways. Timmy heard the *sound* of "P," like how you say "P"-lastic spoon when you're eating your yogurt. But instead of thinking of a word that *starts* with that letter, he thought of a word that *sounds like* the letter itself. You know, like how "Elmo" kind of sounds like you're saying "L-M-O" super fast. It's a classic kid move, confusing the sound of the letter with a word that just *happens* to sound similar. Get it now, chief?
