Cavebaby K's Cute Words and Phrases

*beware there is a TON of inappropriately used punctuation (let's not forget the terrible grammar) in this post...I'm sorry for making my friend Molly blind with the horror of it all, she's a college English instructor. I, obviously, am not.

Me (or My) Nenoll--I'm Kendall--introducing herself to anyone and everyone who'll listen, often when i'll say "good morning beauty" she'll say 'no me Nenoll'

Meen Up--Clean Up--as in 'meen up meen up ewybudy ewyweh' (Barney song) or 'meen up me mom durtee' if she's sticky/dirty/sees the wipes or the bathtub

Cuk--Stuck--as in 'mama cuk me' when her foot/arm/head/toy/diaper is stuck somewhere

Nyde Wood--Nice Word--instead of her saying "please" or "thank you" or using her "nice words" as we tell her, she says, 'nyde wood mom more baba!'

Got it? There's going to be a test you know, I hope you're taking notes. One of these days I'll video K during her semi-coherent story telling and YOU will have to try and decipher what she's saying.
