[Ads-l] Language and children; flee/flea. Was: Antedating of Flea Market

[W Brewer]

I recall in 1985, I was sitting in my room working when my landlady's son
(about 4 years old) wandered in to snoop around. He picked something up and
said, "What's this, Wawwen?" I said, "That's a shoe horn."  "Oh." Then he
started blowing through a little hole in the handle.
