At dinner my daughter told me that she had listened to whale sounds in school.
I told her that I speak Whale. Not all Whale, of course, but some of the more common dialects.
She looked skeptical. "Really?"
"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeoooooooooooooooooeeee," I said. "That's Blue Whale. Now, Humpback Whale is completely different. In Humpback, it would be, 'Iiiiiiiooooooooooooooiiiiiiioooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuiiiiuuuuu'. Beluga Whale is a tonal language. To say it in Beluga, it would sound like, 'Eeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'. And, the Minke Whale--well, my Minke is poor, but I think it is, 'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooooeeeeooooooooooeeeoooooooo'."
She was trying not to laugh. "What is that supposed to mean?" she asked.
"It means, 'Ellen, clean the kitchen'."
I'm a creative tyrant.
