pime after pime

evesie has a charming disconnection between certain letters and how she pronounces them, though her rules are not consistent across all occurences of those letters. for example, many t's at the beginnings of words are pronounced as f's. you can imagine our horror--before we figured this out--when eve would call out 'truck!' as she spotted them chugging down the interstate.

the double consonant 'cl' gets pronounced as a 'p,' as does the 't' at the beginning of 'time.' so, instead of clean, climb and time, evesie says pean, pime and, well, pime. obviously you have to rely on context to figure out if she's talking about scaling a wall or commenting on that elusive concept of temporality.

as i think of it now, 'p' substitutes for several consonants. last night for a snack she pipped her fingers in pummus and ate it (dipped/hummus). she also got two new pairs of leg warmers, which we pronounced to be awpum (awesome).

these awpum leg warmers bring me around to the title of this post, which you can now decode to read 'time after time.' that should immediately bring to mind this lovely new wave rocker:

cindy lauper rocked the leg and arm warmers in the 80s, so why can't evesie bring that back in the late stages of 2009? friends, i think she's done it:
