Thanks, ita. They are pretty adorable.
But their childhood language was unaffected, in a kind of long term storage (Icebox)because it wasn't in use.
That's what I thought but I wasn't sure. Very cool.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still have a stor of me slutting around with Spike somewhere. Ah, good times, good times. Well, not slutting like Matt had Lindsey and Angel. Just, you know, dressing saucy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, man. I delurked with a stor based on the alien body, got called out as "that green chick", and then spent years explaining ever since that while I am in fact into sustainability and recycling and whatnot, it's not actually the origin of the gchick pseud.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me neither! That's hilarious.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My grandfather was 20 when he left Sweden and 84 the first time he returned. Children liked to hear him talk becasue it was like watching the Swedish version of a victorian costume drama. He pointed out when he returned home tha, ironically, he and his childhood friends now "speak the same English but a different Swedish."
I wonder if the same thing happened to my grandpa when he went back to visit Lulea, his hometown in Sweden, some 50 years after he left in his late teens.
The "Icebox" effect is why American English has retained so many idioms and words that dropped out of English English in the 400 years since Jamestown. I remember the "that's so cool!" reaction I had the first time I saw the phrase "I guesse" in my Chaucer class and realized that what I thought was an American phrase had been around for centuries, if not a millenium.

Trust my rage
I have ten minutes before I have to go get the kids. Do I watch TV and eat jelly bellies or do the dishes?
eta: even as I typed that, I knew my choice.
