Hitting The High Note

Many twins develop their own form of verbal communication. They speak regular old English to everyone else, but when speaking to each other, they can slip into this invented form of speech, understandable only to them. I once saw a video of teen twins conversing in a language that sounded like a Kraftwerk bootleg played through the stereo of a 1983 Dodge Aries.

My boys, though still very young, are clearly developing their own method of communication, but they won’t be conversing in a bubble. Judging from the sounds they’re using, dolphins will also understand them.

This morning as we prepped them for their morning walk, they chattered back and forth with short screeches, chirps and shrieks. One exchange was so high pitched I could not hear it. I could only see their mouths moving as I tried to explain to my dog that I wasn’t whistling for my slippers.
