Yob
June 26, 2005
You know that bugs bunny cartoon, where the family has a baby, but it's cosmically switched with an alien baby?
You know the kid doesn't talk, but makes a buzzing sort of communication noise by passing electricity back and forth between its antennae.
OK, well, on this trip I've heard people say that Bella speaks:
- Alien
- Japanese
- Chinese
Personally, I'm leaning toward a combo of German and French. Especially with her new found fondness for exclamations like "Whee!" and "Wow!"
But clear as day she'll tell you, "Hi!" and "Bu-Bye!"
It's really when she's playing by herself or otherwise having a moment with her own thoughts when she'll pull out the foreign baby language. She'll go on and on.
And rather than being one of those super-attentive moms who can easily translate for those around her, I am just baffled. I say things like, "Isn't that interesting?" "Really? Can you tell me more?"
Here she is. Not yob, lrig.
