Scene: Aleph is trying to tell me something, but I can't understand him no matter how I try. The train needs to go fash? ...flash? ...fashed? ...frashed??? Aleph is in tears by the time I finally get it. FAST. Duh. Of course. I hug him, and talk about how frustrated he must be. Then Aleph pulls himself together.
ALEPH: Now you say something and I won't understand you.
[Note: We've never done this before.]
EEMA: Hey, that's a good idea. Okay. Um... oogalie boogalie.
ALEPH: [smiling] Snoogalie boogalie?
EEMA: [cracking up, but trying to wail] Nooooooooooo! Oogalie boogalie!
ALEPH: Floogalie boogalie?

This just makes me grin. Love it.
Oh, I have my suspicions about how they got so awesome. Namely, awesome parents.
So what was he saying?
I feel like half of what 3 year olds say only makes sense in their frame of reference, so even if you CAN understand the words, sometimes you just have no idea.
What a great idea! I love this.
That is awesome! Way to go him for taking a frustration and turning it into a fun game!
