Yumi has been reading a site that allows parents to post funny ‘bloopers’ their children have done. I’ll try to find the link later. Anyway, here is a good one:

Tarou: あれほしい。
Mother: あれって何？

Tarou: あれ！
Mother: ちゃんと名前を言いなさい！

Tarou: 太郎です。

Vocab:
あれ are - that
ほしい hoshii - want
って tte - used as a kind of quotation marker
何 nani - what
ちゃんと chanto - exactly, clearly
名前 namae - name
言いなさい iinasai - speak!
太郎 tarou - Tarou
