Dear Humans,

Esterdayyay we learned the basics of Pig Latin. It’s useful if you want to suss out any secrets adults are trying to keep from you while you’re in the room. It’s also just fun. Because playing around with language is always fun. 

But my daughter pointed out another advantage while we were having a Pig Latin conversation on the way to her dance class last night. “When you speak in Pig Latin,” she said, “you really have to think about your words before you say them.”

Wouldn’t it be great if we all spoke in Pig Latin just so we thought about our words before we said them? Even though we’d sound a little goofy at first, I think we’d all start talking a lot more sense.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
