The Girl comes running inside, scream crying at the top of her lungs.
“Mommy I bited my finger.”
“You bit your finger?”
“No I bited my finger.”
“That’s what I said you bit your finger.”
“NO! I bited my finger.”
“That’s not the right way to say it. You say I bit my finger.”
(Blank stare)
I hold my finger out in front of my mouth and say, “I’m going to bite my finger.” I put it in my mouth and say, “I am biting my finger.” I pull it out of my mouth and say, “I bit my finger.”
“See you already bit it so you say I bit my finger.”
“NO I BITED MY FINGER MOMMY. I’M TELLING YOU I BITED MY FINGER!”
I’m such a good teacher.

Those pesky tenses! English is actually so difficult, it’s a wonder any of us can learn it.
fabuloso! I stopped correcting, knowing that the world would do it for me, and so I got to hear her say “ambliance” and “hospibble” a lot longer.
