Learning a Second Language

As silly as it sounds, I've often joked that I should add "ability to interpret toddler" to my resume.  You can sympathize with the importance of this skill if you've ever recognized that the only thing between sanity and a meltdown is an interpreter for your toddler's grunts and motions.

But I quickly realized how impractical this skill would be in promoting since it only applies to one person, Callen.

Interpreting Callen is like playing Mad Gab...except you aren't playing for bragging rights, you are playing to keep your sanity!

Take the test:
1.  Sum-salt (somersault)
2.  Shoe-shoe (tissue)
3.  C-hot (Seahawks)
4.  Wish (Shelby)
5.  Wall-ic (Wallet)
6.  Priss (Princess, Nana's white poodle)
7.  W-nge (orange, the color)
8.  All low (all done)

Context matters (words that have two meanings depending on the context):
9.   Ass (outside or inside)
10. Elmo (Elmo or elbow)
11. Bue (blue (the color) or Kensi or blueberries)
12. Me (me or mirror)


Even on frustrating days, I love this kid.
Go C-Hot!
