Speaking Kendrakan

Kendrakan is a unique form of English, spoken by my resident six year old. 


"Daddy, can we do cashew?"  Ken pondered that silently a moment before asking, "How do you DO cashew, Kendra?"  She said, "You know... cashew.  Where we mix things together to see what happens?"  Still perplexed, Ken asked her to show him, and she led him to the chemistry materials.  Ah!  Chemistry!


When she's not doing cashew, she enjoys hopping on a pilgrim.  Over and over we tell her it is called a pogo stick.  Sometimes she remembers the "stick" part and calls it a pilgrim stick.

 

Then there are avocados--you know, kinda like airplanes--they fly up in the sky.  There are rescue avocados and military avocados...

 

And tornados.  Tornados are goooood on a salad.  (Helicopters are good on tossed salads too.  Yummy green helicopters are delicious with red juicy tornados--But we should only eat them in migration.  Tornados are like honey that way, and at dinner last night she explained that honey is healthful, so long as we eat it in migration.  (Moderation?)


Kendra!

Hi Dell! I've been lurking on your blog for a long time. This is funny-my kids insist that potatoes go in salads and tomatoes are what I keep in the bin in the cupboard. Hamburgers is "hangerburgers".

Haha, those are cute! I don't think I'll be able to look at a helicopter again without thinking of avocados. *grin*
