Denglish 3. offglitschen

Today in a doctor's office kids' playroom J explained to my wife that, when jumping from a couch to a table, you had to be careful "not to glitsch off."

All in all Jamie is very good at not mixing languages, but of course he does so occasionally. I'm going to post the occasional entry where I accumulate examples over the course of a couple of weeks, to the extent I can recall them.

Papa, kannst du das Video aufbäcken? ("back it up")

Also, J occasionally still will use "if" for German "wenn" in a conditional sentence. He was doing it a good bit up until a year or so ago, now much less often. Today (1.15.15) I heard it when trying to express himself while very upset.

"I do that better as [< als] Grammy." (overheard by my wife several times)
