Made hash & eggs for farewell breakfast for T. Oh, New England!

T told me that one of the characters in the YA novel she's reading said that breasts are called nanga nangas because of the sound they make when you pull them & they snap back. I said that I think nanga nanga is indeed an onomatopoeia, but I didn't think that was what it was onomatopoeic for. She said what's an onomatopoeia. I explained and gave copious English language examples, asked for some Russian examples. She wasn't interested in my childish games, has packing to do. I told her onomatopoeia was itself one.

Peretz seems concerned at all the activity.

Need to change from pajamas into proper clothes, take him for a walk.
