A short primer in Eitanese

Based on a recent discussion between my three year old and a taxi driver in Bangkok, we have a long way to go towards creating speech applications capable of understanding young children.

Taxi driver: (driving past where the king of Thailand currently resides) This is where the king lives!

My son: Mr. The King? (for those not familiar with the Pixar film Cars see here)

Taxi driver: Yes!

I find it fascinating how, in the absence of a word, kids have no problem coming up with a word themselves.  The following are some of the ones I find amusing from my three year old Eitan.  My two year old Nathan generally follows Eitans words or comes up with his own - and sometimes we need to call on Eitan to translate.
