Paul's Language Development

Lately Paul has taken to yelling as we go under bridges or overpasses or through tunnels. He did it on the way to the zoo with his Spanish-speaking friends who, of course, referred to the bridge by its Spanish name "puente."
So, we're driving to the Bible study Sunday night, and as we passed under a bridge, Paul yelled. Then he said, "That was a fun-tey."
"Yeah. It was a puente, Paul." I said, trying to implement what all the child experts say is the best way to correct an error in juvenile nomenclature.
Paul responded with an enthusiastic, "Good job, Mommy!"
