Dd 9 (HG) has created her own language... She calls it Meganese. She has lists and lists of words and meanings, and has also made phrases and sayings. She says she's going to teach the language to her friends... I'm not sure how that will go over! Pig latin, maybe, but I'm not so sure about her friends learning Meganese!
This seems like a very "gifted" thing to do, but I'm a little concerned about her obsession with it. She was speaking Meganese at breakfast this morning. I made her promise that she would not make up any bad words or mean words in Meganese. She said, "Oh Mom, of course not!"
DD is a very language oriented kid- reads at a 10th grade level. I guess she's trying to investigate more complexities of words. It's a little puzzling to me.
Has anyone else experienced this with your child? It just seems like an unusual thing for a nine year old to do...
Perhaps we should look for a foreign language class for her.
