Sentence #31 - REVEALED
How did you do?
On Monday, I asked you to tell me how Mariah Carey finished this sentence:
I just want…
Did you hear…
A. I just want a four-mile home
or
B. I just want you for my own
While a four-mile home might be the Christmas wish of some people (probably if they don’t have to clean it!), in this case, the answer is B.
These are the things that might have tripped you up:
The connections & changed sounds in want you, which is so soft and quick that you really hear t - a instead of wan(t)chu
The connections & reductions in for my own, where both the l and h seem to blend together and your brain tries to make sense of what it’s hearing
This is our last look at misheard Christmas songs for this season. I hope you had fun, and now you’re singing along with confidence!
