The things you say.

My sister encouraged me to make a list of Teno’s words, and they’re changing so quickly I think I already forgot some of them. But here’s what I can remember:

  • Suck!: said in yelling-form, often accompanied by pointing. This means “I want a sucker.”
  • Wah-der: water
  • Chai!: see notes on “Suck!” only for chai
  • Poop: this is actually his weiner. He calls it “poop”
  • Snose: nose
  • Eye
  • Hair
  • Toes
  • Big toe
  • Foot
  • Da Mama: this is me
  • Dah-yee: daddy
  • Hot
  • Code: cold
  • Shoe
  • Socks (he demands to wear them at all times, by the way)
  • Thomas
  • Percy
  • Hen-yee: Henry
  • Wed-word: Edward
  • Hogar: Gordan
  • Emee: Emily (he says all the Thomas character’s names)
  • Ship: Bishop (our friend’s little boy)
  • B: Baron (our other friend’s little boy)
  • Pup Pup: dogs, puppies and also Blue from Blue’s Clues
  • A blue: A clue
  • Geem: green
  • Bwoo: blue
  • Halp: help
  • Stuck: I don’t think he’s ever literally been stuck, this is a catch-all for “I’m not where I want to be”
  • Bike
  • Buth: bus
  • Side: outside
  • No
  • Yes: said when you tell him no
  • Knee: also “my knee” which is always skinned and in need of attention
  • Chalk: chocolate
  • Quack: graham crackers
  • Bites: Yogo bites
  • gum
  • Rye Ree: ice cream

There’s more… I’m already forgetting them.
Oh, also:
Percy = green= 6
Gordon= blue= 4
Thomas= blue = 1
James= red= 5

If you ask him what color something is and it’s blue he’ll tell you Thomas. Likewise, he points to numbers, like the number 6 and says “James?”

Therefore, Teno = crazy.

  1. awww! i can’t wait to see him again! “Hogar” cracked me up lol =)

  2. my favorite is ’stuck.’ olivia’s catch-all phrase is ‘help you!’ as in ‘help me’ but we always say ‘do you want me to help you?’ so there you have it.

  3. I enjoyed the very liberal use of HALP!
