Hi All,
My son who will be turning 3 shortly loves watching Herbie. Don't we all 🙂 and he's watched all the movies.
Now the funny thing is he continually spells "Herbie" with the 3 letters BFW, and I can't work out where he's gotten it from...now have been through the movies trying to see if there is something within them i.e. number plates, signs etc but nothing stands out.
This one has me beat....Can you guys help solve the mystery!!
Cheers
herbfw?
hmm... thought provoking, im curious... i want to know what is running through that childs mind when he spells... challenging, anarchistic, random...
the word herbfw is art.
...i have no idea...
I would guess that he is trying to say vee double yoo
Kids cant usually say the letter V until they are about 4.
Until then they will often substitute the letter for something else...
and say things like Bolkswagen, etc.
Try him on some other words starting with V and see what he comes out with
like pronouncing Apple as Bubble? 😂
Tis soo koool
bfw... feels so german... like kdf... wierd...

Well an "f" looks kinda like an "i" and a "w" looks like an "E" that's fallen on its side...
Yes, i need to to go bed! :P
ur son might be like mine...
he has herbie as BEW...
turns out..from what i can gather as his writing is much clearer now...he was writing 53 w... which is now 53 vw
the 'B" is like 8 which is like 5.
the 'e' and '3' are often interchangable in a childs mind..and writing....(most kids do that one)
and the "W" in the cicle...to a child...is a 'w'...not a VW...make sense??
may not be that at all for ur child...but i got to watch as aj's progressed...and began to make sense...only took about 6 months to work it out....(derrr for mummy)
and I am assuming i do not need to explain the 53 vw...right?
dubless. 🥲
🥷 And who the helled parked the Mitsubishi "Prancer" under my house??? 🥷
i like davids suggestion. i would never have thought of it, but it makes sense

Bugeyedbabe, I can see your theory with the numbers & letters interchanging...
Jo_Tas, I hope you did get some sleep🙂
BajaChris, yeah, I luv it when my kids talk and mix things up, and your right , BFW does feel german😂
david777, my boy says Herb when ever he sees Herbie, it's only when I ask him to spell Herbie that he produces BFW.
ColumBUS, that makes 2 of us with no idea 😂 my curiousity is killing me as this has been bugging (no pun intended 🙂) me for 7-8 months now.
Thanks for your suggestions so far guys
Cheers
Click the Beetle
LoL 😂
somehow I don't think my son would have come up with that one..
Cheers
