nuh-uh

Yesterday Eli and TK were in a big ol' tiff during centers. I looked over and they were doing the "nuh-uh." "yah-huh." routine back and forth. I figured that I would let them exhaust themselves, so I kept an eye on them from a distance. They began to grow louder. Finally, I was forced to intervene.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"Eli said that its called plonics. I told him that it's not. It's phonics. That's how you say---"

"Nuh-uh. The word starts with 'p.' It's plonics!"

How could I be mad at them when their arguement is over letter sound knowledge and phonemic awarness?
