One on “Muvver."

Mother was very fond of teasing Ethel, her three-year-old daughter. It amused her to see those little eyes flash with rage. But it wasn’t having a good effect on Ethel. It was making her very sharp and bitter tongued. One day mother picked up the new puppy, cuddling it in her arms like an infant, and asked: “Look, Ethel, how do you like my new baby?” But she didn’t* smile at the small girl’s quick retort: “It’s ’zackly like its muwer.”
