Another Lolaism
Walking home from school with Lola the other day, she was talking about the “kaftering lady”. Took me a couple of seconds to register what she was talking about. Like most small kids, Lola tends to miss the beginning from long words or phrases. So “beginning” becomes “ginning”, “behave” becomes “have”, and “look after” becomes “kafter”. And of course, there’s no such thing as “looking after”: it’s “kaftering”. So the “kaftering lady” is the lady who looks after Lola.
