Mrs. P bought the Fletchmonster this LeapFrog® jibber today. We had one of the 'fridge-front' ones a couple of years ago, but the dog chewed up all of the consonants. (Vowels are presumably less tasty.) That one just sounded out the letters -- this new, 'improved' version helps with word recognition for three-letter words.Mrs. P: Fletchy, why don't you show your daddy what I got you?
The Fletchmonster pulls his toy out and hits the button.
Word Whammer: Let's spell a word. W-A-R. War.
(Mrs. P and I exchange glances.)
Prego: What? Was this f*cking toy designed by Republicans?
Mrs. P: I didn't like that word.
Not that this necessarily warrants a boycott of LeapFrog® products, but you'd think they might have programmed it to start off with "FUN" or some sh*t.

Remember that Cat is a foundational word which can be used for bigger words like CATalyst and CATastrophe. Likewise, war is part of a bigger word like WARrior and WARdrobe.
... and WARden, in case he ever goes to prison.
War? You've got to be kidding.
I'm so buying that just because it says war. And no, I'm not a Republican. But yes, I know how to blow shit up n stuff. Even got to hang out with SF guys for a week to learn how to do it right. ;)
That's so funny.
