My wifely proudly reported that my son does not call the cover of the juice bottle 盖 anymore, but 盖儿.

Am I supposed to be happy with that?

I guess should be happy (and study even harder to not fall behind ;-) )

Well, I guess it depends on how you feel about the values attached to that particular pronunciation?
