“Thankum”

My daughter, Brinley, is 20 months old and at the stage where she is broadening her vocabulary. When that is combined with our efforts to teach her good manners, we get some funny results. She is still confused, for example, about when it is proper to say “Thank you!” versus “You’re welcome!” The result is that for now, she just combines the two into one word to fit all occasions: “Thankum!”
