  1. Baby talk

    This is fascinating.

    Apparently, young babies (0-3 months) share a language. Five words or noises specifically. I plead that you watch this video. It’s brilliant.

    In short, nah = hungry, howh = sleepy, heh = discomfort, eair = lower gas, eh = burp.

    Brilliant.

    Thanks to Sarah Giles for pointing this out.

    Today I learned that the Americans call a bouncy castle a ‘Moonbounce’.
    A friend learned that a group of giraffes is called a ‘tower’.
    What have you learned today?
