favorite phrases/words

J and I often find ourselves translating for Sam. It's not that Sam speaks a foreign language (I've tried, but he gets frustrated whenever I try to speak to him in Portuguese), but Sam pronounces words in his own little way. He also puts funny twists on certain words, which is cute. Here are some of my favorite words (with translation) from Sam's lexicon:

• "polly-eight" = pollinate (I don't deserve credit for teaching Sam the word "pollinate" at his tender age. He first learned the word on Sesame Street, and doesn't quite grasp what it means yet. But he does know that "polly-eight" has to do with bugs and flowers, and hey, that's a good start.)
  
• "airplane port" = airport
  
• "pollypop" = lollipop
• "Skew mee!" = Excuse me! (The great thing is that Sam uses this phrase in context - he usually says it whenever he burps or wants to scoot past a person.)
