Not too long after kids learn to speak, they realize there are things they want to say that they don't want grownups to know. Pig latin, for instance, is one way to disguise talk, gibberish is another. My favorite, though, is Ubbi Dubbi.

It's really quite easy to speak Ubbi Dubbi... just stick -ub- inside each syllable. My name's Bill, so it becomes B-ub-ill. "This page" is "thubis pubage". If the syllable starts with a vowel, like the word 'I', then it's 'Ub-I'. Similarly, 'is' becomes 'ub-is.' Words with multiple syllables divide up... wonderful... won-der-ful... w-ub-on d-ub-er f-ub-ull... wubonduberfubul. Thubat's rubight... yubou've gubot ubit nubow. If you're still having trouble, there's an automatic web translator for Ubbi Dubbi.

Many thanks to Julie Townsend for her excellent subingubing.
