Rubber Beret


About one day a year, Pete decides that it's Pig Latin day. He speaks only in Pig Latin for most of the day. In case you think this sounds whimsical and fun - it's not. It actually starts out pretty annoying, and then gets worse.

One interesting thing did happen on Pig Latin day 2011. Pete somehow found a green rubber ball that he was able to wear on his head. He noticed that when you say "rubber" in Pig Latin, it is "ubberay" and on his head it looked like "a beret". This was a pretty unexpected coincidence of language.
