It has begun, the dance of the popit and the hipsy







They adore each other these two.
As each of their language skills develops they are beginning to have conversations with each other.
It's a whole new world for them.
Hilariously entertaining.
Most of the time, I know what they are talking about and the conversations cover topics like "how are you Batsman?, I'm good Bowler, how are you?" and "where's mummy? ummmmmm, she's in the laundry" and "can I have some of your sultanas please Bowler? nope".

These past few weeks, it has begun.
That secret language between siblings where the parents have no freaking idea what some of the words mean.
It's their code.
And it is oh so very funny. There are giggles and smiles all round when the secret words make an appearance.

So if anyone out there can help me out and tell me....

  • what "popit" is and why daddy's gone to get some and....
  • what it means when someone is "hipsy".
I'd be ever so grateful.


Have your children made up some great words? Share them with me!

  1. Angus says "bee-ya" at the moment. Cross between by and see-ya. All day he's staying "bee-ya" to us and anyone or anything he encounters! Oh, and he calls cheese, cheese-o. So we have ham and cheese-o sandwiches!
    There are many more, but these are my faves.
