Oh yeah, now I remember the other Rosemary-ism I wanted to write down. When someone sneezes she yells "Good and Tight!" That's her translation of gesundheit, and frankly I prefer it to the original. Now we all say it.
Also, Rosemary has pretty good diction, enunciation, all that. But there are a few words that she still says (I hope for a long time still) in funny ways. I don't think she hears the difference. Blanklet. Instresting. Brestest - that's breakfast to the rest of us. This last was the topic of a funny conversation between Rosie and her fun friend Marley, discussing sleepovers.
Rosemary: And then we can wake up and have brestest!
Marley: Breakfast?
Rosemary: Yes, brestest.
Marley: Do you mean breakfast?
Rosemary, looking thoroughly exasperated: Yes, that's what I said. Brestest.
Marley, mystified/exasperated, turns to me: Well then why didn't she say breakfast?
Rosemary, moving on to more important topics: Coo coo! Doo duh dooo!
