8.15 PM, the Babel Residence, childrens' room. BK1 & BK2 are drawing.
I interrupt them and ask BK2 where her pyjama bottoms are. BK1 remembers they should be in the bath room. BK2 then exclaims:
"Ich habe gemagict die away!" (I made them disappear using magic)
If you are German (and I suspect only then) you will notice that she took a perfectly normal German phrase ("Ich habe die weggezaubert") and translated the verb, leaving the grammar pretty much intact (well, in her way).
This is the first time I really noticed her doing it that way round.
Interesting...
