Joshua was sitting on my lap as I worked the hand wheat grinder. He was trying to read Billy and Blaze.

"H-H...OW....U....S-S...EE..."
"H-Ow-Uss-EE.."

"Hu...ss...EE..."

"Hussy!"

(I interject- "O-U says OW there.")

"H-OW-S-EE"

(I interject - "The E will be silent, there.")

"H-OW-S."

"House."

("Good job.")
