Mnnnm versus Mooooo
Toronto, 2011.11.05
When I sing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" for The Boy, I use a cow-like lowing sound "Mnnnnnmmmm". Today he told me that one of his friends says, "Moo!" instead. "it's interesting, isn't it?" he asked. He doesn't know that English-speakers think that cows make a "Moo!" sound. Hee hee!
