toddler dialect




I'm a linguist, 

little boy, 

didn't you know? 

I've been figuring our

your dialect

from day one



"mm" means food

"gie" means sticker

"fis" means yogurt

"emi" means help me, 

or help you

"bee" is bunners and blankie 



at least, that's what it all was today


I love how you say, "mm wedy!" 

to call everyone to the table


but today you said 

"food wedy" 

instead 



your dialect changed in a moment, no warning

more like mine

and my heart broke a little




because

I'm a linguist, 

little boy, 

didn't you know? 

I've been figuring our

your dialect

from day one


and it's my favorite I've ever known
