e . nun . ci . ate |iˈnənsēˌāt|
verb [ trans. ]
say or pronounce clearly : she enunciated each word slowly.
We've been working on passing some of Warrior 2's requirements in his Webelos book and had this story to tell.
Warrior 2: In primary, Sis. Ellis was telling us to enunciate when we sing. She asked us what the word meant and no one answered. She then mentioned that there is a kid in Junior primary that knew what the word meant. In my head I knew she was talking about Warrior 3. Sis. Ellis was surprised that someone in CTR 6 knows the answer. So, she turns to ask Dad how old Warrior 3 is (the King was playing the piano). And Dad said, "Five." (Warrior 2 shaking his head --because his little brother is no longer five but is six years old.)
ME: why didn't you correct Daddy?
Warrior 2: Princess did. She told Dad that Warrior 3 is six but he insisted that he was five.
Anyway, that was funny. The King is getting old.
I can just imagine Warrior 3 raising his hand quickly and way up high waiting to be called. Warrior 3 is our motor mouth and likes to make conversation.
I remember when he was two or three years old. Every time we would go somewhere, he would always have something to say. It didn't matter what time his mouth would keep going. I specially like the times when we would drive home late around 11 o'clock ...the 3 other gooey babes are asleep, comatosed, knocked-out and snoring.....Warrior 3 would still find things to talk about from the time we pull out of Wal-Mart Mililani parking lot to Laie. Very verbosa if you tell me for a little guy his age.
Anyway, he is know in first grade, no longer a little gooey. Anyway, going back to the word enunciate. Warrior 3 knew the meaning of the word since he was 2 years old. We were working on this topic one summer to help Warrior 1 speak clearly. That's how he learned the word.
