Well, I'm sorry, but if your kids won't say "man-Coke" anymore, I might just have to start.
"Man-Coke." It is genius.
They may stop saying it, but WE do not have to give it up!
Still in use:
Time for beckrish.
Time for munch.
I NO nappy-time.! and I NOT nappy time!
Those were Nathaniel-isms.
This is my kibinney... (Thank you, Slim Goodbody, for your assistance. It is difficult to explain some tests to a toddler, but Laura loved your show!)
Totally! It still goes on in our household too, esp. with pronoun substitutions. And some words are so built-in that they don’t even feel like words that started with the kids — like peep for sleep. We’re the keepers of the traditions. But no soda in the house now.
