Hanissa Language

So, Hanissa is a very fast learner. She repeats EVERYTHING she hears. Of course... she doesn't always repeat things correctly.

For example:

1. Correct way: Thumb
    Hanissa way: Tum, dumb, gum


2. Correct way: Bellybutton
    Hanissa way: Bellybutt


3. Correct way: Cat
    Hanissa way: Mee-ow mee-ow

4. Correct way: Big
    Hanissa way: Big, pig


5. Correct way: Pig
    Hanissa way: Big, pig


And then there are those words and phrases she says which... need a translation.


1. "Water play." Translation: Swim.

2.  "Shame on you!" Translation: Rachel is wrong/did something wrong/thought something wrong/....you get the picture. Most often used on moi.

3. "Funny!" Translation: Shame on you! <--- see definition above.



My reaction to most of the things she says: ...You keep saying that word/phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means. :D

You must never misunderstand the child. If you do, you risk the wrath of the Hanissa. Good luck if you endeavor to enter a conversation with her. Yours will be the death that comes from laughing way to hard. May the Force be with you. . . .
