The little princess is at the age now where she's adept at stringing together words to form sentences. The problem is the words she uses really want to be English, but they usually end up somewhere between Olde English and something vaguely Asian.

-Daddy?

-Yes.

She'll look up at me expecting some kind of response or action. To her, the meaning is obvious. And if I say, "What?" She'll repeat it to the syllable. It's uncanny, folks. I'm convinced she's invented her own language, and secretly making fun of me. Kinda like the Wayne's World "sphinctersayswhat?" routine. This is one of the many reasons why I think Cameron is a genius.

The apple doesn't fall far... well, sort of. You see, my brother and I also developed our own language, but it didn't happen until our teens. We called it the "ong" languange. When people first hear it, they think it's Korean. You spell the words and tag "ong" on all the consonants, and you say all the vowels.

The word "water" is said like this, "wong-a-tong-e-rong." Egg is "e-gong-gong." This language gave us the freedom to make uncensored comments about people in movie theater lines, the DMV, retail checkouts without risk. A liberating comedic experience. We actually got so good at the language we started using it to curse at each other.

Imagine two white kids yelling Korean-sounding profanities at each other in a Denny's parking lot. Yeah, that's true brotherhood.

Hey wait a sec, do ya think Cam is cursing me out? Or maybe she is talking English, only backwards. Could she be into backward masking? Reverse messages? According to the website below, The Beatles, Britney Spears, and Led Zeppelin all did it, why not my Cammy?
