As you know, one of our daughters is autistic. She's very bright, but has a really difficult time getting her words out. We've spent lots and lots of time carefully modeling speech for her, and teaching her what to say and when to say it.
Today my husband was making dinner and as he was getting the rice on, my super intellectual book-writing Ph.D. of a husband was riffing on the old Vanilla Ice hit and singing "I'm making rice, rice, baby. (Boom ba da boom boom ba dum) Rice, rice, baby." When dinner was ready, my autistic daughter comes into the kitchen and says "I want Rice Rice Baby!"
I'm really hoping that, at the school cafeteria, she'll rock it out to the lunch ladies and ask for "Rice, rice, baby."

LOL! Love it!
Mr. B can often be found having a blast the autistic kids in classes where he's the substitute. I tell you, that man just has a way with kids of all stripes!
Your hubbie sounds like a delight!
Must be a very fun time in the Elizabeth et al household!
maybe that's a great way to teach her new words..sing them as a song..
Schoolhouse Rock, Vanilla Ice style? That is a special brand of twisted.
