Shabazla!
Beth: [age 4, holding up a stuffed animal] "The frog says, SHABAZLA!"
Me: "Shabazla? What does that mean?"
Beth: "It's part of finch!"
Me: "This is the first I've heard about it. What is finch?"
Beth: "It's part of kamuka!"
Me: "Oh, we're back to kamuka again. What does kamuka mean?"
Beth: "It's part of shabazla!"
Me: "But what does it /mean/?"
Beth: "It means kissing frogs. And chicken butts. And lollipops. And fish."
Me: "So, basically, everything."
Beth: "Yes! Shabazla!"
