It seems we have fallen victim to the inevitable pigeon English syndrome that takes over when attempting ongoing communication with anyone who doesn't completely understand you. Guidelines include:
1. No use big words. Speak sloowwwly and LOUDLY.
2. Wave hands in air. It help you understand
3. Say 'ehhhhh' when try think of new easy word
4. Make Greeki accent for English words. Maybe this sounds a little French
We find ourselves speaking like this to each other and even Cassie who looks at us in bewilderment.

How funny!
Have you also tried speaking in a higher pitch or shrugging the shoulders and pulling the "I don't know" face!
Its funny how you start to mimic accents and mannerisms or use pigeon english yourself! Surely Cassi is wondering whats going on!
