Mr. Smarty Pants

LT is fascinated by "Spanish words" now (probably a by-product of our current hometown) and is constantly asking me to say words in Spanish for him.  He also tries to figure out a few of them on his own by saying English words with an accent.  Wanting to show him that some English and Spanish words sound alike, I asked him what English word the Spanish word elefante sounded like. His answer:

It sounds like your mouth is making Spanish words, mom. 

Indeed.
