me when i see a cat: CAT! cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat
Fun fact: when I see cute animals, I forget English and automatically revert to my native Hungarian. I donât know what bystanders make of me, reciting guttural gibberish to rabbits.
But the real question is, what are you SAYING to the rabbits? Is it âRABBIT! rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit rabbit bunny bunny bunny awww cute bunnyyyyyâ?
Well, I usually say the Hungarian equivalent of âbun bun bun lil bun look at your tiny spoon-shaped ears awww bun brave little lawnmower bunâ, but sometimes I say âhey rabbits, my sisterâs gonna go to med schoolâ because I think everyone should know.
I live in Japan, and I always revert to English to talk to small animals, and I was cooing at this tiny little fluff machine of a puppy in baby english like âhello youâre so cute such a cute hello hello yess youâre goodâ and the 70 year old Japanese lady that was walking him started to *translate the baby talk english into Japanese* for her pup. She wanted to be sure he understood it too.

ACCURATE.
I was at a pet store with Eileen. A woman walked up to us and asked if she could pet her. Eileenâs collar has âDeaf Dogâ embroidered on it. The lady asked about it, I confirmed, yes, sheâs deaf. The lady immediately switched to American Sign Language and asked her how was her day, was she being a good girl, sheâs so pretty. Eileen is wagging her tail excitedly, knowing that someone is talking to her.
