Stephen (pointing to peanuts and moving his eyebrows suggestively): Ca-ca!
Papa: Stephen, you want some caca?
Stephen: (Nods head and moves eyebrows up and down)
In our house, "caca" does not mean what you might think. For us, "caca" means "nuts", and started because Sarah couldn't fully pronounce "cacahuate," which is Spanish for "peanut."
(Yes, we are aware that peanuts are technically legumes, not nuts, yet we follow the societal norm of classifying them with nuts for the kids.)
