Hippy Hoppys

My Brazilian partner speaks excellent English. When we met I didnt know a word of Portuguese so we have grown used to speaking English together, though there are certain words that trip him up.

When our baby was a few days old he got his first case of hiccups. "Oh no, the baby's got hippy hops", commented M.

At seven months old Caetano still gets hippy hoppys regularly. And I think the name is here to stay.
