Harere's Diary, Part 24

Epipi 8

Dear Diary,

Today Emuishere tried to teach Awi some new words. Remember how he used to say ''pomyganate''? Well, now after Emuishere's ''wise'' teachings, he pronounces it ''pomergainit''. He also now calls Mut ''Mutty'' and Ab ''Add''. I tried to get him to say ''Harere'', but I only got him to say ''Waway'' instead of ''Wewe''. Buikhu tried to get him to say ''Buikhu'', and Emuishere tried him on her name, but now all they get is ''Buckoo'' and ''Shaiwy''. I laughed so hard that I started crying. I laughed so hard that my sides were splitting. ''Waway, why you waghing?'' I couldn't answer I was laughing so hard. Finally, I calmed down enough to ask him his name. With a sudden burst of giggles, he leaped round the room with one long, loud, '' Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!'' Uh-oh. I burst into fits of giggles again.
