Don't Read "Hiyah", Rather "Chaya"

Every time our twenty month-old son said "Hiyah" for the past few months, my wife and I thought he was saying just hello. My wife just called me a few minutes ago and told me that she discovered that he wasn't saying "Hiyah", but rather "Chaya"; the name of his little girlfriend who still hasn't turned one.

Well, being that it's also my Hebrew name, might you train him to say, "Hiya Chaya!"

(Nuuuuuuuuuuuu? When's the chupah?)

Essie: Thanks!

Pearl: I didn't think you liked receiving wedding invitations

ASJ, I didn't understand the correlation/link at first. I was looking for "Chaya" in that post of mine. Man, but your memory works well!

But listen, I intend to be invited to the entire wedding, not just the chupah and reception at 10 p.m.!

Oh, dear, Miss N. I hope this mistranslation was caught in time!
