Flufficito

The eldest mermaid has seemed to bypass many of the malapropisms that commonly accompany anyone learning a language.
Today she proved there are more out there.

While playing Polly Pockets today she described to me that a yellow haired Polly Pocket was indeed Snow White.

She just wants these other clothes on even though she doesn’t have black hair…she just dialed it golden.”

Later, as she often does, Abby was re-enacting parts of a movie with the younger mermaid. This time it was Aquamarine (what else but a mermaid movie.) There is a scene in which the protagonist is told that in order to get the male love interests attention she should make him feel good about himself (fluff his ego) and then leave (retreat). He is SURE to follow after that.

Emma! Just fluff and retreat.

Fluff and retreat.

Flufficito and retreat

I wasn’t aware that she was learning Spanish at all.
