thinger

Annie was reading today and read the word "finger." She was confused and wondered why it said "finger" instead of "thinger." (she has always said thinger, and we never corrected her 'cause we thought it was cute). I told her the word was finger and it was correct in the book. She was devastated and started crying thinking that she wasn't smart. I don't know how she's going to take it when she finds out about santa...
