But my kid is speaking now, a lot. In fact, she won't shut up. It's after hearing her Chinglish that I realized there are two kinds. English Chinglish and Chinese Chinglish. English Chinglish is where you speak English and throw in Chinese terms (what we siblings use with each other and my daughter with me). Chinese Chinglish is where you speak Chinese and throw in English terms (what we used with our parents).
So, I thought I would share my daughter's Chinglish because a) people may identify and 2) it's just damn funny.
Today's word?

-noun

"I'll be the cha-er for the cupcakes. You be the sprinkler."
