Igpay Atinlay

If you are somehow miraculously uninitiated ito the world of Pig Latin, the first letter or sound in a word is dropped to the end of the word and the sound "-ay" is tacked on to that as seen in the post's title meaning "Pig Latin". My children failed to anticipate the possibility that Mom and Dad might be familiar with their nifty secret language. They also made the error of putting their messages in writing. I was not pleased to discover in writing a message stating that, "Rinea sia ckyia" which translates to "Erin is icky." There was some serious back-pedalling to attempt to clarify that what was meant was that Erin is sick because she has the flu.
