"Daddy, I want this arch-chi-tetchure book" - a little boy in Barnes & Noble.
Trying to spell the word "architecture" phonetically is difficult but I wanted to capture the little boy's pronunciation of it. Little kids have such a different perspective on words. It's almost more organic. They are still trying to figure things out on their own. What I found amazing was that his father did not immediately correct his son's language. He smiled and squatted down next to him, and together they went over the syllables in the word. It was very cute and a very good way to correct his son without immediately saying "You're wrong."
