This post brought to you by the busy woman whose family is in town and who is far too busy to post anything substantial today. Plus, I wrote this last week, so it's an easy post.

My daughter speaks fluent elvish. I'm convinced that Tolkien spent a lot of time with babies to create this language for his books. Here is a conversation Olivia and I had the other day...
Mommy: Who's that pretty baby in the mirror?
Olivia: Ehr bahna nilthea. Ek-sia etha. (With emphasis, pointing to the mirror, then looking me in the eye and making a sweeping motion with her hand).
M: I have no idea what that means, but obviously you do.
O: Meeraba! O neksah badsa!
M: Uh, huh. OK then.

I'm sure she was describing the beautiful Mommy in the mirror! :)
That is a really good point! I bet you are right about Tolkien. :)
