Imperative Verb + adjective + noun + , + proper noun = basic sentence

The two year old today did something we've not noticed before: she made a sentence all on her own.

Sure, she's been chattering away for ages now... but every sentence etc comes from the copy-cat phrase book. "Whatchya doin'" etc - all copied from what she's heard.

But tonight I was singing badly and she took an imperative verb: "stop", an adjective usually used only to describe her #2 nappies: "yukky", a noun: "song", a comma and a proper noun: "Daddy". The result: "Stop yukky song, Daddy".

Brat.
