I don't know if anyone else has experienced this before or not, but when my God Daughter was little, and just learning words, she made put her own "twist" on words......and for some reason, many of them have remained a part of our vocabulary ever since! Her "twists" have become the norm among us "adults", now instead of the "real" way of saying things! LOL
For instance, I doubt I will ever say banana again......it will forever be "Be-mana"!
She also created the question...."what are you doon-ing"...and the phrase "Oh, that's Be-scusting"! We call these "Shaela-isms" and I have to STOP myself from saying these things in public, they have become such a part of our world!
I will also never forget figuring out for the first time what she was saying and what she actually MEANT when she kept saying "ga"! We THOUGHT that was what she was calling her father, who, at the time, was travelling a lot on business. Every time he would get ready to leave, she would say "ga" and then after a few times of doing that, she would add "go" after it.....so we thought she was saying "Daddy's leaving" --- but one day the lightbulb went off when we were visiting a friend's home, and as we were getting ready to leave, she said , "Ga Go!" very cheerfully, and we realized she was saying "Gotta Go" which was what her Daddy said everytime he left!
By the way...this thread makes me smile!
