The problem is Chicago. It's already been hit by the snow. So...I'm delayed. But I'm not alone. More than a few of us are sitting here in the Newark airport. Hoping to be leaving soon. Nothing against "The Garden State", but after the last twenty four hours I think it would be better named, "The Pothole State", ("Newark" should be "Soot City"). Anyway...here we are....sitting....waiting.
That's when a little girl walked up to me and started a conversation, (one-sided, but still, a conversation). What'd she say? Not sure. Her words sounded like a far eastern dialect of that very popular language among the young, ("Gibberish"). But, in fairness, she spoke it very well, (and fervently).
Her mother, (sitting across from me), didn't seem to speak much English either, but she acted as interpreter. Thru "Mom" I learned the little girl was two and a half, her name was "Tae", and she liked to jump. I now know that the most repeated word in the gibberish language is "nemo". It's a fish. I think.
Anyway, Tae was very interested in my open computer. So, I offered her a blank "Word" document and she began to vent. Here's what Tae typed.
I'm sure it was very important. She worked very hard on it, In fact, she also made several wholesale deletions which, at the time, I thought were "misteaks", but when Tae ended with the above, she seemed very happy. I would suggest that everyone reading her words, heed them.
Then, when she seemed to be finished typing, she said something like, "flikkened". I realized, after several insistent jumps, that "flikkened" meant "draw". So, I open up my "Paint" program, and she drew the picture below. I helped with changing colors, lines, and stuff, (a little).
What's "gibberish" for prodigy?
