No like it!

Andy left Austria today in the morning and Leilani is completely surrounded by – German speaking – Austrians. It was extremely surprising to me that she came up with a new English phrase today in the afternoon – “No like it!” She repeated it several times for a movie that was on and later said it again to decline to use the potty.

I shouldn’t even call it English – it sounded more Pidgin to me, but I suppose it is probably easier for a Baby to come up with the phrase that way, than to use a word like “don’t”, or a longer sentence, but it sure reminded me of the way the “locals” in Hawaii speak.
