The English language… or any language for that matter has escaped me. I am in a sleep shortage. We have a 6 mo old visitor who had yet to sleep through the night. I no longer communicate with actual words but have reverted to gesticulations, head nods and sound effects. If you think you hear a parrot squawk… chances are it’s me…
Little mister is fast approaching 2 years old and his extensive vocabulary is astonishing. That said, he randomly strings together words in a sentence and looks intensely into your eyes willing you to understand. “Up the nose”, “out the window”, and “I make a poopy” are current favs.
I love his fervour and passion as he endeavours to use language to make his needs known.
We could all learn a thing or two from him about the importance of what we say and how we say it:
A) choose your words carefully
B) make eye contact
C) make sure you are understood. If not, repeat a&b
