Fun with Reading

Maggie and I were driving home from picking up her team's soccer uniforms and she decided that "reading was her favorite hobby!"  So she was reading all the signs she could.  We stopped at the corner of Louise (Maggie read it as "Lucy") and Main St.  She started reading in the "24 hour fitness sign."  Here is what she came up with...

1st - 44 fishes
2nd - 44 fins
3rd - 44 fitness (after my help with fitness)
daddy - "Maggie, that doesn't say 44 it says 24"
Maggie - "Oh yeah, 24 fitness, what does that mean?
daddy - "What does the word under 24 say?"
Maggie - "four"
daddy - "No, that is an H, not an F"
Maggie - "Oh...24 whore"

Of course it says whore...because "four" = fore but "hour" = our....

Don't you just love English....and 5 year olds!
