Speaking in Tongues
As a mixed language family, we often have conversations that are perfectly natural to us, but because of the English and French mix (often in the same sentence) are unintelligible to the outsider. My son came up with a gem yesterday. I shouted something to him from another room - something that did not please him. His response was, “Blinking Heck, Ooh Là Là“. The phrase Blinking Heck comes from me, trying to curb my language, and the Ooh Là Là is natural.
I doubt there are many children in the world who would use such an expression of exasperation. Probably just as well.
