owe/bill/debt 2

At one point Jakey was trilingual.  At least in the case of one word: mo.  He could express the word “more” in English, Spanish, and his own version of American Sign Language.

I wonder what the odds are for two babies, born two years apart, to have the same first word?  Mama and Dada are expected, but “more”?  It’s not even in the top 15 most common first words.

Even more importantly, what are the odds that said two babies would both use the exact same inaccurate sign language motion for “more”?  At school there are no teachers who will fess up to teaching any sign language.  Miss Dulce mentioned a Spanish song with hand motions, but it hasn’t solved the mystery.

Natesy points his right index finger into the palm of his left hand while uttering “mo, mo.”  As I previously reported, this is the sign for “you owe me.”
