Matildaese

One of my most favourite things about hanging out with Matilda is listening to her version of English. If she doesn’t know the word for something – she’ll either just use a bunch of words she does know strung together to describe it or just make something up. Here are some of my favourites at the moment.

Special shoes with things under them n. “When I’m a big girl, can I wear your special shoes with things under them?”

Treadagorn n. or Scanboarder n. “When I’m a big girl, can I run on your scanboarder?”
