when crab teaches her young to walk straight. *direct translation

My kid got 3rd place for storytelling; and i was being honest when i asked the head judge for her comment:

me: Could u please tell me what was her weaknesses so i could start to work on that?
head judge: Her 'pro-noun-ciation'
me: So, okay, i need to work on her pronunciation, is it?
head judge: Yes, she had problem sometimes with her 'pro-noun-ciation'. She said 'ask' instead of 'asked'
me: *in my head* and the champion said, "One more thingS", and many more??

.
.
Okay, i'm just being bitter now. But putting that aside, 'pro-noun-ciation'???


continue...* darn, i just couldn't help it.


head judge: and she also had problems with her expression.
.
.
WHAT?


let me spell it to you again, W.H.A.T??????
That i cannot accept lady!
But instead of saying that, I smiled and walked away.
*flips hair and snap fingers

I may not be the master of English pronunciation, but i know some of the words that i should master before i teach others. Alas, we are all human beings.


p/s: i knew i should have got myself a video cam.


 What's wrong with my pro-noun-ciation?
