sayings of an international travelling 4 year old

To help those who may be spending time with Garrett over the coming period effectively navigate conversation, Emily and Daddy present the following translations:
  1. nuggle - snuggle, a modern concept in Garrett's life, prompted most heavily by observing Elizabeth snuggling, and deciding he wants some of that.
  2. piderman - Spiderman, the superhero of choice
  3. panking (spoken quietly, just barely moving the vocal chords) - spanking, as in "If you don't leave Mom's desk alone, you will get a panking"
  4. nuggle bear - Snuggle Bear - the favorite bedtime companion of Alexa
  5. Wes mah'm - Yes mam (again spoken quietly, just barely moving the vocal chords)
  6. TOP IT! - Elizabeth, please cease and desist from your currently activities, as they are cramping my style.
  7. pillow - like Pee Wee's laugh word, this is the trigger word for instant hilarity (props to Mr. Anderson Chinuntdet)
  8. top apeating me! - generally spoken to Louise, the most calculating of both little and big sisters.
  9. phine ferb - Phineas and Ferb, the bastion of excellent cartooning in the modern age.
  10. footit - see pillow
