With every new child we face a new opportunity to teach. Very often the first lessons revolve around language.
"Ah ain't never seen nothin like that."
"It's 'I haven't ever seen anything like that'"
"You ain't either?"
"No, I mean ain't is not a word."
"It ain't?"
"It isn't"
"I never know'd that"
"Never knew that."
"You ain't?"
"I didn't"
"Me neither"
And life goes on.
