My son the language specialist
“Mommy, do you want me to sing the Ben 10 song in English or Hebrew?” my son asked.

He quickly hums the opening instrumentals, and with great gusto, launches into the lyrics. “A cytoquada aliens…”
I looked at him with a bemused smile and said gently, “I’m not sure that’s right, sweetie. I don’t think ‘cytoquada’ is a real word.”
“Yes it is,” he retorted.
“It’s not, sweetie. I’m sorry.”
Rather defiantly now, “it is, Mommy!”
“Are you sure?” I asked.
“Yes. I’m sure.”
“Okay,” I responded, sighing in defeat.
He starts from the beginning. “A cytoquada aliens…”

Mo-ha-med: If you prove to me that you can use “cytoquada” in an original sentence, I’ll accept your suggestion! And regardless of anything else, Microsoft Word be damned.
Your love has been registered, accepted, and happily returned! 🙂 xoxo
