Tickle Tumble: "Hi ho Mummy-o. We's been ridetting."
Tickle Tumble: "Greetettings!"
Me: "Hello Tickle Tumble. It's lovely to have you home. I wondered where Bibbetty had disappeared to."
Tickle Tumble: "She been ridetting wivs me."
Tickle Tumble just gave me her sweetest smile, so I couldn't really tell her off, could I?
Tickle Tumble: "We's here now."
Me: "I'm so glad to see you Tickle Tumble. You don't look too upset by your long journey and erm... your time with the erm..."
".... Holdetting peepuls?"
Me: "ahhh... yes them. Are you ok?"
Tickle Tumble: "We's finetty. Bibbetty meeted me and..."
"I bringetted me frienditties."
Me: "Oh, I see. So you weren't alone then."
"Not meez. We's togetheretty
Tickle Tumble: "This beez Spot. Bibbetty loves Spot. See theyz friendetties nowling. And that beez Birdie."
Me: "Hmmm... So you have a frog called Spot and a Lady Bird called Birdie?"
"Yesetty. Meez spotty froggetty and meez dotty buggetty."
Me: "I think we need to work on your English or I'm going to have to get someone to translate."
I watched them and realized that Bibbetty does speak, but not to me. She's obviously telling Tickle Tumble about her adventures here. Spot seems a good froggetty. Oops! Now I'm speaking Tumbleez.
This is obviously a greeting in Elfeez. It seems the Elves of Taw Wood have received their latest inhabitant. I just hope these two rascals don't cause too much disruption to the community.
I over heard them say something about 'Hoomahns' and how overly worried they get. Do you think they mean me? *ggg*
