For some time now I have been studying the communication habits of the species 'one and a half year old'. I have now managed to develop a rudimentary understanding of the language, viz:

"Bib Off!" Thank you for this delicious meal - please may I get down now?

"Hand! Hand!" (accompanied by frantic tugging motions in upper arm region) I am not an airline pilot, please roll my sleeves down.

"Hand! Hand!" (accompanied by outstretched fingers) I appear to have banana/yogurt/chocolate biscuit residue on me. Would you be so kind as to remove it?

"Where Dadda?" I'm bored with you. Please fetch the other parent.

"Mum! Cluck-cluck!" Mother, you have placed my toy chicken out of reach. Please rectify the situation.

"J** night-night" My eldest brother appears to have gone to sleep on the sofa.

More translations to follow when I am less Drunkard.
