Nana was doing her homework and then she suddenly stopped, turned towards me and said "Mama, my leg got headache." I knew this was just one of her thousand ways to take a short break.
Of course, I got a bit irritated and told her off "Nana, it is called a headache when the head is feeling painful. So you can only use that word when your head is in pain."
Our smart-alec Zac as usual, always has something to contribute. He said "Nana, your leg pain so it's called le-dache." With the innocent look on his face, I just couldn't control myself. I practically burst out in laughter. I realised that he is so used to hearing us pronounce the word headache quickly as one word instead of pronouncing it slowly as Head-Ache. So when he suggested the word legache, he totally omitted out the letter "g" and replaced it with a "d", and it became ledache.
Anyway, when dear got home from work, I told him what the kids said. He laughed and even made a joke about it. He looked at the kids and said "So if the bed ache, it's called bedache (Bedek)!"
There you go. This is my family, always saying the darndest things! Haha.
