Invented words

Christian loves to come up with ridiculous-sounding words. He would tag a ridiculous word to our names - bikko gonggong,
- and it always changes depending on his mood of the day. He'd come up with it on the spur of the moment, beam at you and say "i called you xxx-mama"..

The other night after our trip to the Keppel Marina, he came up with a creature called "Messtuenut".. I mangled the word a little and had to repeat until he nodded, satisfied that I got it. He said "Messtuenut" has a BIIIiig mouth (opening his mouth as wide as he could to illustrate), long legs (even longer than mama's), a lot of hair, and a BIIIG nose.

I asked him where this formidable creature lived, and he said "In God's house".

I laughed and said, "Are you sure? You cannot lie.. i'll ask God."

He looked stricken then said, "It stays on the road.. no on the pavement..then when it rains, it'll go to the restaurant." (He was thinking of the area around the Marina and the place we went to for dinner..)
