The English Language

according to Sadie.

'ticka ticka ticka' is what you say when you tickle someone.

'meesh' and 'mama' both mean please.

If she sticks out her tongue and says 'ahhhh', she wants to brush her teeth.

A rooster says 'do do do do do'.

A lip smacking hand blown kiss means 'I love you' & 'thank you' & sometimes 'goodbye'.

Buzz Lightyear is called 'Bzzzzzz', just like what a bee says.

Bats say 'shhh' if they say anything at all.

'wiggle' and 'giggle' are best if said over and over until your mouth gets confused.

You know, like this: wigglewiggleigglegiggiglleliggle.

Shaking your head and saying 'puppy, shhhh' in an exasperated tone is the ideal response to Oliver's barking.

Squeezing her eyes closed really hard and saying 'shhh' is code for 'I'm not doing what you asked me to do on a count of I'm napping'.

And this concludes LESSON I of language with Sadie.

(hint: there's a lot of shushing going on)
