Cracking the Code

Geoff deserves the credit for this one…. David speaks David, and really only the family knows what he is talking about. For the last couple of months David says “di-ga-di-go” (rather fast) every time he sees pretty much anything with a handle, ie: scripture case, handbag, lunchboxes, violin cases, etc. So, he says “di-ga-di-go” and struts around with a smile on his face, while carrying in his hand something with a handle.

Yesterday, Geoff received inspiration (during a visit from our home teachers) as to what exactly “di-ga-di-go” means. After our handshakes and goodbyes, no sooner had the door shut than Geoff turned around and triumphantly said, “I know what “di-ga-di-go” means! --- ‘GOTTA GO’!!” Really, it was an obvious match, but it took the smarts of Daddy to bring it to our attention. You see, every time one of us leaves the house, we’re saying we gotta go! Or you gotta go! so naturally David picked up that phrase. It was a happy day indeed to have cracked the code, even if in part, to the language of David! ;)
