    Our parents used Spanish pig Latin, called “el Fo” add “fo” after every syllable. So “¿Como estas?” Co-fo mo-fo es-fo stas-fo? I didn’t learn it till high school.

    We just spoke English and didn’t say in front of the kids, what we didn’t want repeated, worked like a charm!

    Too many cartoonists are catching on to this trick of recycling old strips. It used to be that when a cartooonist went on vacation, he just built up a body of stuff to go out while he was away. Now cartoonists are taking the cheap way out!

    Knows three languages by the age of six. Not a bad start for a translator.

    I Googled it. It was originally pitchers, from way back. Nope, not baseball, water pictures have big handles…..like ears….Of course when the phrase originated, they didn’t have photographs….Now that we do, I’m changing it to pictures….It makes a lot more sense….

    We did the old trick of spelling the word, which worked briefly until one day when my then-four-year-old got wise. I asked if we should go to the P-A-R-K and she went nuts…. “Park! Park! Park!”

    My son-in law learned Hebrew because his parents were using that as their “secret” language.

    We use code and spell in ASL since our oldest knows what we’re spelling if we have to mention something in front of the kids.

    I do. And based on the comments of @mhmercer and @lightenup, I bet they care too.
