Her words with translation.

I fine. - Keelyn's favorite thing to say. She learned this from her dad, who also enjoys the simple combination of words which give absolutely no detail whatsoever when a question is asked which it may or may not be an appropriate answer for in the first place. For instance, I might say, lunch will be ready in ten minutes, and she might say, I fine. Or, I might say, we will have lunch when we get home, would you like a peanut butter sandwich, or grilled cheese, and she might say, I fine. Your shirt is all wet Keelyn. I fine. You look sleepy Keelyn. I fine.

Reah kick. - Real quick. You know, like when you tell her it's time for bed and she's pulling out a game or book? Don't worry. She's fine. She'll be reah kick.

Litta bit moe. - The amount of anything she wants when it's time to move on from a meal. Even if she's done, this is what she tells you to avoid having her mouth wiped.

Want to eider. Fit eider. Help me eider. Look at me eider. - This is a negative. Intonation and the use of the word "either" clearly imply that.

Dinner already. Purple already. Own Self already. Tired already. - This is a positive. Intonation and the use of the word "already" clearly imply that.

Mines. - Implies something is rightfully hers. The English language is just one big joke, no?

Mommy, um, but(h), well, but(h). - Implies she needs me to listen, but in fact has nothing to say.

Keelyn is in total narration mode. She talks about everything she sees from sun up to sun down. We were driving the other day and she noticed a flag on someone's house. So we hear, "Flag! Noman flag. Sparkly. Flyin'. Tryin' to get away. Hard. Do. Hard do it. Tryin' hard. You see it guys? Notha one! Two, Five, Eight. Ooh!" Add in some, wells, and buts, and you can fill a whole car ride. And on and on. The best part about these little talking tangents, is that she incorporates a fake little chuckle where she throws her head back, mimicking one of us, no doubt. And to add cute to cute, many times, she'll do this on the phone. And I'll try to interject, and I hear, "Talkin' to you eider, Mommy. Phone already." You see. It makes perfect sense.
