Save the Effelants

When Sage says the word "elephant," she always flips the first two consonant sounds, "effelant." She probably does it because she's familiar with the "Heffalump," an elephant-like creature dreamt up by A.A. Milne. Sage spends her weekdays in the Heffalump Room at her day care. But it's not the only word whose consonants she transposes — for a long time she said "shiff" instead of "fish." And she recently used "frelection" for "reflection." Anyway, today she said "elephant" correctly for the first time. And it made me sad.
