When I was little my parents would take me and my brother to disneyland which is the place I learned that there are a lot of different languages by listining to people in lines waiting for rides. Me and my brother thought that we could talk to each other and would fool people that we were speaking another language. It probably sounded like "jabba habbla blah bleep". We would nod along in our conversation and thought that every one else would be trying to figure out what we were saying the same way that we were trying to figure out what they were saying.
