Miriam, like most little kids, still requires a translator (usually Mom) to make her intelligible to non-immediate-family members, and sometimes even Dad. :)
Here is a handy reference for some Miriamese with their English equivalents:
hostipal -- hospital
balala -- umbrella
kabuzz -- because
telling phone -- telephone
smanooch -- sandwich
peeta butta samooch -- peanut butter sandwich
tapaytoes or peetoes -- potatoes/tomatoes
bixit -- biscuit
flierfy -- firefly
magnick -- magnet
train tractor -- train tracks
troller (said with lips pursed) -- cross between stroller and trailer
umbalella -- umbrella
applepie -- pineapple
board skater -- skateboard
marshalows -- marshmellows
Mamember -- November
Mamember March 19 -- Katie's birthday
ganooner -- granola
last day -- some time past
last year -- a very long time past -- although it could be last week
lemalade (you can probably guess that one)
More Miriamese added as I notice them!
