We Speak Our Own Language...Dawsonese

In our family we have accidentally developed our own little language. I like to think that part of it is due to how Lyme Disease affects your speech but after I went thru our list of words...I see that most of these came from me and the kids. Hmmmm.... Not sure what that means other than we have a lot of fun when we are together. Besides, Scott and I are artists...We don't need "No Stinkin English!"

Here are some of the words that have stuck around. Noah comes up with new ones daily so I may have to add to the list.
Muddle- A mud puddle.
Flippers- Fuzzy slippers.
Tushin- Cushin for your tushy.
Disturbinating- Autumn's word for Disturbing.
Ripsy- Our latest nickname for Sissy. When we text sissy the phone calls her ripsy and it stuck.
Fluffy Bunnies- This is in place of those grownup expressions of frustration...plus who can resist smiling after you "cuss" fluffy bunnies? :)
Snicky Snack- This is a small snack for the afternoon munchies. This is different than a snack.
Girl & Boy Cheese- I'm sure you have this one in your house too...this came from my childhood.
Relatative- Autumn's word while trying to explain someone who was sort of related to her but not really.
Refridgalator- This is either Autumn or Eli's version of Fridgerator.
Icebox- This is my word for the fridge. This came from my mom, who got it from her mom because they really DID have an icebox.
Tortilla (Emma Style)- On any word that has the double ll, it is no longer silent.
Quesadilla (Emma Style)- Same as above.
Cheeze- This is what Autumn says from the back seat when she wants us to know that she is smiling because of something we have said.
Skabetty- This is what Lucas use to call Spaghetti and it stuck.
Sug Blug- The famous game of Slug Bug when you're saying it at lightning fast speed so you don't get slugged...

We have retired these words- Heckapocter (Helicopter) and Lellow (Yellow) but we love to talk about them still. I think all of the baby words are gone now...must be time for a baby. :)
