I've been teaching Olivia how to speak Pig Latin this weekend. She's fascinated by this 'secret language' that she and I can use, and that Hudson can't understand. When putting her to bed tonight, she asked me if we could practice.
Me: "O-nay."
O: "Why-ay?"
Me: "It-ay is-ay ayer-pray ime-tay." (It is prayer time.)
O: "Why-ay?"
Me: "Ecause-bay it-ay is-ay ate-lay. Ow-nay ray-pay" (Because it is late. Now pray.)
O: closed her eyes; . . . silence . . .
Me: I peek at her; she peeks back
O: I probably shouldn't pray in Pig Latin, huh Mom?
Me: (grinning) Probably not . . . although, He would still understand you!
