some stuff the bean's been spouting/spouted recently:
1) "you are driving. don't talk." - this lecture was given as i tried to converse while driving her to school one day. talk about backseat driving!
2) "i don't eat this. it's nasty." - first time she used this line was in reference to bits of seaweed that was in her rice.
3) "haircherly" (for 'actually') - this adverb is sometimes misused in her speech but she does throw it out at least once a day.
4) "i seenk" (for 'i think') - e.g. "i like egg yolks. i seenk." (this statement is untrue actually as she balks each time i try to give her egg - in any form.) her pronunciation reminds me of that german/british advert with the deutsche ship's captain asking, "vat are you sinking?" of the british captain on the 'sinking' ship.
5) she was well pleased with the fit of her new swim goggles today and told me why: "it fits. it's perfect!"
