Funny Pronunciations

You pronounce a few words in such a way that it make us all crack up. You mainly have problems with "R"s and "L"s and sometimes "S"s. I'm writing this down now because I've forgotten all the funny ways Sophia used to pronounce words.

You have four main words which sound funny.

Girl - You say this more like "GAIRlll". Like hair with a guh sound
Warm - You say this like "WEARmmm".  Like you are wearing some clothes
School - You say this with two syllables like "SCHOOO-elll" where the SCH sound is a the same sound in shawarma.
Smell - You say this with the same "SCH" sound and kind of add a "w" sound so it comes out as "SCHmewll"

I decided to take a video of you saying these funny words.  I think you don't really like being made fun of so you weren't too happy about the video.  Sometimes we tease you a little about it.  And usually you laugh.  But sometimes you don't like it.  But it also shows that you are almost ready to stop saying these words in a funny way because you can, when you want to, say them well.
