New Article

Zazzy has created his own indefinite article, squashing English and Francais together to create “en” as in en ferry, en pancake, en train, etc…  So of course, to prolong the fun we’ve all joined in as well. We hope that you are having en nice time reading about it.

In other Zazzy linguistic news, we were on I-5 South on a clear day and coming round a bend in the road, suddenly there loomed Mt. Rainier larger than life. “Ooooh! Look! Look!” cried Zazzy, “It’s Mount Reindeer!” Be looking for an antlered mountain on our Christmas card.

When Loulou was small she called my brother and his wife Auntie Janet and Auntie Chip. “Auntie Chip” stuck for a long time because we all liked the moniker, even though Auntie Chip himself wasn’t too pleased. Then Zazzy evened things up with his own version: Uncle Chip and Uncle Janet. But now he’s growing up and correcting himself. When I called them that when they arrived the other evening, Zazzy looked at me scandalously and said, “NO! Auntie Janet and UNCLE Chip!” It’s rather sad. I love toddler talk.
