Soapie is pretty sharp to mimic and try to understand what we're saying, but sometimes they have odd consequences. One thing she does now, is whenever we accidentally/unintentionally hurt her, we immediately say "I'm sorry." Like, if she's got a diaper rash and we're changing her diaper say.
She's picked up on that.
Like last night, she's got the rash and I'm trying to really gently wipe her irritated bottom. She starts streaming tears and cries out, "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" She's using it in place of "OW". But all I could picture was the wife-beater guy going, "WHY DO YOU MAKE ME BEAT YOU?!" She's saying it in her most pained little voice and it really makes me feel like scum, for totally the wrong reasons.
*sigh*
