It is a painful decision, any easy one to put off.
The decision is trying to decide when to correct your kids' misheard words.
I treasure these phrases and protect them from correction for as long as possible.
"I was running so hard Mama, that my heart is bleeping like crazy."
"I fell and made a face platter right into the puddle."
"Backpack (Dora the Explorer) is on!"
Those misunderstandings are part of the process of learning the language we speak together.
They eventually fall away...they fall so very far away, that they are hard to remember when they are gone.
That's what makes it so hard to decide when they need to know about them.
