When All Else Fails, Use a Synonym

During Anna's Bible read aloud time tonight, she came across the word "mule." Every time she tried to say "mule" though, it sounded as if she was saying "meow." She truly sounded like a little kitten purring. Tim and I kept trying to help her pronounce it correctly but we both kept getting tickled. She was trying so hard but to no avail---"meow" just kept coming out---so finally with a sweet, weary voice she wisely asked, "Can I just say donkey instead?" :)
