There are so many THINKS a thinker can think!
Would you dare to yank the tooth of a RINK-RINKER-FINK?
And what would you do
if you met a JIBBOO?
Just a little quote from the “Oh The Thinks You Can Think!” book by Dr. Seuss. Leilani loves this one as much as all his other books, and recently started to make up Dr Seuss words. Had I thought about this before I’d have hidden the book for a few more years.
“Are you a plaza?” I answered that in German “Pluzer” is close enough. Italian Plazza might have worked too. But then she came up with more elaborate and longer words like “Lilyupdadidi” or … I’ll write them down right away next time, I forget them too fast… clearly happy about her brand-new and fresh words – I mean it’s not like Lisa’s de-lumpify or just verbing something, Those are brand new words, not related to anything else, thrown into a conversation by someone who still insists that it is a perfectly acceptable to pronounce spoon “Foon” and who, if a word seems too long in English just switches to German in the middle of the sentence… But it still is funny.
Another funny thing: We make her ask before she can get up from a meal. “May I get down please?” is the magic formula. But then it’s boring for a while, so sometimes she tries to make us get up too and play with her. Today she took my hand, looked me in the eye and asked “May you get down please?”
