So, if you've kept up with this blog you'll know that my son, a natural word smith, has created some doozies (here).
Apparently the gene is hereditary as his younger brother is already coming up with even more mot juste, and he's not yet two years old.
Today my wife said to the youngster, "Who's the baby?" We expected "I'm the baby" or more simply "me". Instead he effortlessly and quickly combined the two answers into a far more efficient turn of phrase.
Mom: "Who's the baby"
Baby: "Meby"
It's quick, easy, exact and efficient. He's already taking after his pop!
