O-grease-eus

Yesterday we were studying early Greek civilization. I read some from a children's version of Homer's The Odyssey to the boys. Occasionally I will ask the boys to "tell it back." In their own words, they will tell me about what I have just read to them. K was retelling The Odyssey to me. I did my best to suppress a laugh when in his telling, the main character, whose name is Odysseus, came out as "O-grease-eus." K's narration went on for nearly 15 minutes, with the name "O-grease-eus" coming out just about every sentence. It was fun to hear, but hard to nod and keep a serious, respectful face.
