Smizhweh sinnec, johah, mawupa (all spelled wrong), and pillow

Ornery boy, girl, and monkey, respectively.  Jerry and I got called these (by Grandma and Grandad) occasionally.  Couldn't tell you anything else they said to/at each other in Polish, so we couldn't understand.  <smile>  It was, as all know, their first language.  Grandma, once, standing at her kitchen stove stirring, responded to something he said in a grumpy voice, "I'm gonna put a pillow over your face and tell God you died!" to which Grandad chortled and then came up behind her and hugged her waist, hee-hee-heeing in her ear, whereupon she elbowed him away.
