What was that again? Maybe you should take off your helmet.
Well, this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Mama’s aunt was visiting with her on the phone a few minutes ago, and she asked if mama had ever heard the aunt’s brother-in-law, Pete, doing his double talk, which, by the way, was far better than any double-talker on Johnny Carson years ago!
Pete was a master. In fact, the whole family is a hoot and such fun, but Pete was always fooling them, too.
Mama was at a party with the uncle-in-law and after having a conversation with him, she walked away, baffled, and said to papa, “I must be drinking too much. I don’t understand a word Pete just said to me!”
So papa went over to say hello and then he came back to where mama was looking blank and said, “I think we are BOTH drinking too much because I couldn’t understand a word, either!”
And they were sharing one margarita!
Soon enough they learned that everyone in the family knew about Pete’s amazing ability from when he was a young man and mama and papa were new to his game. Everyone at the party cracked up watching mama and papa chatting with Pete. If you can call it that!
I, on the other hand, understand exactly what Pete is saying on this UTube short video (it’s his 90th birthday with family) because it sounds exactly like what anthros say to me, with a “Loulou” thrown in every now and then. Piece of cake. I’ll bet you doggie and kitties out there are translating Pete’s words for your anthros, right?
Mama watches this whenever she wants a really good giggle. And I watch with her.
I’m practicing my double talk so I can talk back to mama, haha.
Weid, juvera maner kittibish macom? Nah, naka kibbler mufusion en fuddish macom dinner!
Did you get that?

Goodbye, Maggie. Everyone loved you.
They need to stop sharing meowgaritas!
Oh, I LOVE that, meowgaritas!! That’s now in our language and yes, better they just have one each and forget the whole send-up. But what a talker, that man. Wish I had been there when he was younger to hear him really wail.
We were lost. We even watched a couple of Sid Caesar videos and we were lost in multiple languages with him. It’s probably just as well. We’re already lost when Jan talks to us and she supposedly singletalks.
WHEN are you funny felines and daffy doggies going to learn that Jan speaks JAN-speak and it’s a rare form of informative, scintillating, and educational communication that not everyone is gifted with? You had better perk up your collective ears and LISTEN to her next time. No tellin’ what you’re missin’.
Hmmmm Maybe uncle Pete’s been drinkin’ too much LouLou. We did’t quite ketch it all but we think double talk means something different to us than it does to ya’ll. Can’t wait to see what your mommy says when you back talk her. Be careful..she is da bringer of food. Don’t make her too mad. MOL
Luv ya’

Double talk is what uncle Pete is doing but there is the double talk that fools people even if it’s said with a straight face and great meaning. But his is just amazing connections of letters that make you think you are hearing logical conversation.
