   My two year old walks up to me holding a stick "It's my shilleilagh!"

   I stop

   I skip a beat

   I realize that there's a troll in True And The Rainbow Kingdom who calls his stick a shillelagh.

   The real question is how can a 2 year old say Shillelagh pefectly

     @silverwizard At this age they are constantly parroting what other people say, why did you expect a specific difficulty for this word in particular?

     @hypolite it's more, kids pronouncing any word is hard, any multisyllabic word is harder

     @silverwizard Fair, I’m probably auto-correcting my memories of that time.
