When they were little we called them "Thing One and Thing Two", from the Cat in the Hat. They are inseparable and find similar humor in things being the closest in age in the house. We call them twins because they are only 1 year apart, as opposed to the 4 year span of everybody else.
When they were waiting for the bus they call the other children Quirintas and Quirintos. If we get a bag of clothes that fit them, they call them Acuerdos(literally "I could wear those"). If they are calling eachother to dinner they say "Ueecnete" (Literally "We can eat") They are destined to be linguists if they can ever get their English under their belts. I am always saying what did you say to her. Their language is more difficult for me to study than Latin was. I asked for a list of vocabulary words to study their language and Enoch responded that their language is a primitive and hasn't any written form yet. They are hilarious. They don't speak English, but at least there are two of them who speak their language. :)
i think my jabryl belongs to you then cause nobody understands him hahahahah(funny)
ReplyDeleteI think that we should create a science that studies the language of the young people affected by the internet and tv. They blend words and cultures and thoughts together and there is no social unit to bind them. They are common on the facebook, but they don't necessarily talk to the people in the neighborhood. Their language skills forbid us from understanding what they are talking about. I keep trying to ask them what this or that means. It is a neverended study of mine to keep track of what they are talking about. I have taken Latin and studied Greek and this is by far alot harder.
ReplyDeleteThat primitive Language really intrigues me Jayne! I bet it is even more hilarious then could be described but you did a great job at getting me to laugh thanks!!!
ReplyDeletejackie I bet Jabryl would understand that language for sure.
