Lost In Translation


Here's part of yesterday's conversation coming from the backseat as we waited for her 
big sister to get out of school...
 
Denali: "Mom, what are the bumpy things behind your ears?  Your whackers? 
What did you say that was again?"
 
Me: "Denali, I'm not sure what you're talking about."
 
Denali (frustrated): "You know, the whackers!!!"
 
Me (after much confusion and deep thought) : "Do you mean wax?  Ear wax?"
 
Denali (laughing): "Oohhh!  Wax!"
 
 
...It must be tough trying to learn language and all about the world at the same time!! 
And, yes, I'm still confused about the"bumpy things behind your ears" 
- maybe she needs a bath...
