Last night I was making dinner while my daughter played in the kitchen… I spontaneously made up a simple song (and accompanying dance) about penguins that made her giggle and dance along with me, and when my wife walked into the room she started doing it too… I don’t know if there’s any creativity aspect to Emperor, or if it’s activating some of the previous scripting, or if I’ve just had a mental shift of having fun and not caring if I look or sound ridiculous. Either way it was fun.
Waddle, waddle, waddle… like a penguin PENGUIN! Let’s all waddle, like penguins DO!
I’ve also noticed that I can think independently of speech now, which is something I’ve not easily done before. Again related to the kiddo… right now her favorite song is “Down by the bay”, by Raffi… she’s tired of the typical verses so we make up new rhymes. I’ve found I can consciously think up new silly rhymes while still singing the rest of the song… and that’s a new skill for me!
I don’t think that one is Emperor though, if anything I’d say it’s one of the communications-related modules from AEM… Dragon Tongue maybe. In any case, it’s just started happening.
One last thing about language, unrelated to my sub usage… my daughter now officially speaks more Mandarin than I do.
