Language of Love

When the triplets were small, I was often asked if they had their own 'language', like many multiples do.  There wasn't a special verbal language between them, it was an unspoken connection that prompted them to move and work as a unit, almost like they could read each other's minds.

There have been a lot of cute variations on the English language, though, that have been spoken in our house, by all 5 kids.  For example:

• Cellaphone - cell phone
• Backaround - the background on my computer screen
• Limbo - short for limousine
• Bled - lead used in mechanical pencils
• 3 Stitches - a new movie about the Three Stooges, which is right up the triplets' alley
• Fat Jackets - winter coats
• Hanitizer - hand sanitizer, located in each of our vehicles, their snack and lunch boxes, and my handbag, because I never give up the battle of fighting germs
• Eye-tacts - contact lenses
• Magic Milk - milk and strawberry Quick, so named because it was the only way my first born would drink any milk at all, still the only way Triplet A drinks milk
• Blue-Eyed Buddies - the special club formed by our only 2 blue-eyed children

I'd love to hear some other families' favorites, if you'd like to share!
