2. “I wanna watch Ping Pong.” = I want to watch Peppa Pig.
That was a really hard one to figure out!
3. “I want Scoopy Bunny.” = I want you to sing ‘Little Bunny
Foo Foo.’ Another hard one to figure out.
4. “I wanna see the Lil’Boy; I don’t wanna see the Lil’Boy.”
= I’m afraid of the inflatable football player, but he’s standing in the way of
something I want to do—like maybe go to the park.
5. “You a slunky!” = Something really bad. Something you don’t
want to be called. I got this in response to me asking her if she was being
lazy. We think it means something like slob and flunky, but she doesn’t know
what a flunky is. I like this term a lot and can think of a lot of people who
are slunkies.
6. “I want Skype.” = I want to watch YouTube kiddie videos
on the computer we use to call Gammy on Skype.
 |
| Be funny! |
Hence, “I wanna watch 4
Little Monkeys on Skype.” = I want to watch the 5 Little Monkeys video on
YouTube on the computer we use to call Gammy on Skype.
7. “Be funny.” = Smile
8. “You be funny!” = This can go either way, depending on
her mood. It can either mean, ‘That’s great; you’re laughing.’ Or usually it
means, ‘Hey, stop laughing at me!’ and is usually followed by her giving me
down the road, “You don’t do dat! You <something garbled and
incomprehensible—maybe you a slunky>!”
9. “That’s my favorite.” = I mildly like this, and I want to
do this/have this. It reeks of sarcasm, but I don’t know when the understanding of sarcasm develops in
a child. I’m guess not before age 3.
10. “I wanna watch ganga/slunkalunk.” = I want to watch what
is on Nick Jr., instead of Hogan’s Heroes.
