Micheal,
The way it all happened was this:
Like I said, she was about six and wanted to read me something.
I was busy doing something and wasn't paying attention.
She said, "Audient, audient, I need you to listen."
I said, "Don't you mean audience?"
She said, "No, there's only one of you."
It's been a family joke for years and is really weird to find out she was right all along.
Thanks again.
Have fun,
Phil
