or more precisely humpback I believe.
Driving down the road, all around town running errands I start hearing Bug make noises. After a few minute I realize that she is “speaking whale” like her beloved “fish” do in that movie she loves so much. A few minutes of guttural sounds, growls, and spittle flying all over the van, I ask her what she’s saying.
I get more whale speak.
When she finished entertaining herself with that, she moved on to making other noises she has learned from the boys. I tried vainly to redirect her to singing songs, I even sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star again. It didn’t work. I only managed to upset her, which meant that for 15 minutes I listened to her cry, and say “want out.”
Which I guess is better than “I wan-it.” But only slightly.
