As the Nigerian saying goes nwanyi umu iri o dighi ihe mere nabali o naghi ama (when a woman has ten children there is nothing that happens in the night that she does not know about).
And what can be more bemusing than bunget (from Manobo, Philippines) which means to want as a child something one can't have, get angry and then refuse it when it is finally offered?
Whilst many of us may not like to take the example of the kaelling (Danish), a woman who stands on the steps of her house yelling obscenities at her kids, perhaps we might not want to become too much like another Dutch stereotype, curlingforeldre, parents that do anything to sweep the road of life ahead of their children free from obstacles (literally, curling parents).
Find these and more bizarre and brilliant parenting words that will change the way you see the world in Toujours Tingo, the sequel to the bestselling The Meaning of Tingo.
Tell us the word that does it for you and win a copy of Toujours Tingo!
