EggEgg's first words

It must be my fault. While most babies' first words are mama, baba, cat, dog, car... I've taught EggEgg all sorts of words that should not be in a baby's vocabulary.  Unusual words in our family, such as,

Dice: "Roll the dice, EggEgg."  "This is a dice, you throw it like this." (He's puzzled at why I'm throwing away something and then picking it up again.)

Hair clips: "This is Mami's hair clip." "You like the red one? You always choose the wear one and ask me to wear it."

武林聖火令: This, unfortunately, is what we call a spade.  EggEgg carries the toy spade everywhere with him.  Literally, 武林聖火令 means "the badge of the holy fire in the martial kingdom." Whatever.

Pig feet: This referred to EggEgg's feet.  "There, lift up your pig foot and put into this pants... Ok now the other pig foot."

Pig head: This referred to EggEgg's head.  Note that Pig Head 豬頭 is a homonym to Brick 磚頭, which eventually confuse him in the story of "The Three little pigs."
