I love getting humorous emails – especially those that offer jokes, insights or other amusements that don’t require a lot of thoughts. The one benefit of the Internet is that you get so many of these dopey emails with their one-liners and more. So what does that have to do with babies? Well, first thing this morning – I woke up to this little gem in my email box and I wanted to share it, because when it comes to speaking parentese – we’re all still learning the terms.
- FEEDBACK: The inevitable result when a baby doesn’t appreciate the mashed carrots
- HEARSAY: What toddlers do when anyone mutters a dirty word
- PRENATAL: When your life was still somewhat your own
- PUDDLE: A small body of water that draws other small bodies wearing dry shoes
- STERILIZE: What you do to your first baby’s pacifier by boiling it and to your last baby’s pacifier by blowing on it
- TOP BUNK: Where you should never put a child wearing Superman pajamas
- WHOOPS: An exclamation that translates roughly into “get a washrag.”
Any other gems you can think of that translate to parentese?
