Grantinese: Monkey & Moo, the Multipurpose Words

I've been putting off another lesson is Grantinese, because I'm afraid you all get tired of the things my kids say.  If this is the case, you may as well stop reading now.  Otherwise, let me introduce you to an all purpose word in the language of Grantinese... Monkey.  How is monkey an all purpose word you ask?  I'll demonstrate.

Monkey Cheese = Mac and Cheese.  "My wont monkey cheese!"

Monkey Wand = Magic Wand  "My do Wiggle Waggle (those are the Wiggles' magic words) wi' my monkey wand."

Monkey Bed = Jumping on the bed (from the song "Ten Little Monkeys")  "My do monkey bed and bonkey head!"

*Added later*  I almost forgot!  Monkey-phone is both a microphone to sing in and a xylophone to play on!!

The next multipurpose word you should know is Moo.  Just about any superhero name can be replaced with Moo in Grantinese.  For example, Spiderman, Superman, and Batman are referred to collectively as MooMans. 

Then there are ghosts.  As we discovered on a hayride recently, ghost in Grantinese is pronounced, "Moo Cow."  Yeah, we're still trying to figure that one out.

A variance of Moo is also used for milk, "Moo-k."  This one is sort of our fault.  He used to say something a little closer to milk, but one day we jokingly referred to it as moo juice, and "Mook" it's been ever since. 

That concludes today's lesson in Grantinese.  Have a Monkey Day!

I take full credit for moo juice! Before I told him it was moo juice it was just juice! Man I miss you guys. Your hair looks so cute, by the way. You should put more pictures in of you!
