Rolfs Slang (PBM Volume 1)

PBM's = Pre-Blog Memories
When there is little to write about (or the stuff I want to write about is simply too embarrasing to post on the itnernet) I'll try to share a story from our life before we started this blog.

=========================

When Mikayla was very young (preschool age or so) she would often insert the letter 'B' into her words. We don't know why... she just did.

Here are a few of our favorite variations that she frequently used:

Emily (her preschool BFF) = Embily (as in "When is Embily's birthday party?")

Sore Throat (too many of those) = Brrr-throat (as in "My Brrr-throat Hurts")

Remote (as in TV Remote) = Brrrrmote (kind of rhymes with her Brrrr Throat)

========================

Alexia developed a few of her own slang terms, but didn't seem to favor any particular letter. For example, the other morning she woke up and announded "My nose is snuffed up".

Tonight at dinner a sequence of events transpired that led her to announce "You smell it, you dealt it!". Obviously that was a misinterpretation of something she heard earlier.

=======================

Tanya likes to use the term "window seal" instead of "window sill". We're not sure why but it makes us laugh.

It's funny how the little things can make us laugh. Sometimes we even laugh at the calendar (which you know I'm not allowed to write on).


=======================

Of course, I always pronounce everything correctly, but I tend to have issues with remembering who is who. Surely you've heard the story of the guy named Burt who I accidently called Ernie.

It might have been the other way around, but I really can't remember.
