I see the original post going around every so often and it saddens me a little that it’s never accompanied by this thread explaining why it’s completely understandable how a child would arrive at these spellings in accordance with english phonetics

i also want to point out that even in the composition of the image, the kid is very precisely mimicking the way these pictures would have been presented to them,in kids’ books and posters. this kid not only knew what the shapes’ words should sound like and what letters matched which sounds, they knew that the shapes should be arranged in rows with the name written precisely underneath. this is a kid who paid close attention to how things should go, and it’s very cool to see.
