Christopher's bunny, Bimi, apparently knows a language called "Dinglish".  Dinglish is only known by Christopher and Bimi, and occasionally a cousin or two, or his sister, understands it; hence, I have to ask for a translations often.

A while ago, at bedtime, when it was time for me to leave tucking Christopher in: 
CJ:  "Moofy.  Moofy Moof."
Me:  What does that mean, Christopher?"
CJ:  "It means 'I want you.'"

This was one of the few vocabulary words that seems to remain consistent over time, and Dinglish even apparently has a grammar structure because the other night, he said while hanging onto my neck, "Mama, I'm feeling SMOOFY!"  (like I want you!).

It IS nice to be loved, even in Dinglish!

Just now, Natalie and I had this reasonable conversation:

Me:  "Natalie, you are so yummy!"
Natalie:  "I'm not yummy.  I'm a  GIRL."
Me:  "You're a yummy girl!"
Natalie: "I'm Nadalie, Mama is Mama, Dada is Dada, and a revolving door is a revolving door!!!" 

Go figure.

I love these kind of conversations. Thanks for sharing! Our current bedtime conversations revolve around various things to do to bed bugs. I know, sounds weird, but you know the phrase, "Don't let the bed bugs bit," and the answer is supposed to be, "if they do, bite 'em back." My son now has a list of things to do that is about five minutes long and he quotes it every night. My favorite is when he throws in there, "Get a chicken." I love kids, lol! Life would not be any where near as intersting without them.
