One day in Tuckburough, six year old Faramir Took made an interesting discovery.....

Faramir: HEY DADDY! I'M REALLY SMART!!! Wanna hear me? Please? Please? Please?

Pippen: Oh alright.....

Faramir: Yay! Ok.....um..... Postatem obscuri lateris nescitis.

Pippen: Wow…..that’s “You do not know the power of the Dark Side.”

Faramir: Yep! *sees Frodo Gamgee playing with marbles* FRODO!!!!

Frodo: Yeah?

Faramir: Utinam barbari spatium proprium tuum invadant! = I just said “May barbarians invade your personal space!"

Frodo: THAT’S MEAN!!! *pouts and starts playing with the little gold ring he found*

Yes, it is Latin that little Faramir Took is speaking!

Alright guys, the responses have been hilarious so far. Thanks. I have another one.

Gimli is brushing his looooooong beard, and he hits a snag (nap). "Ahhhhhhh!" Little Gimlion comes running.
"Ada, what's wrong?" "What have I told you about that word? You are not Elvish." says Gimli.
"But Ada, Uncle Leggy says I have an Elvish spirit." "So?" says Gimli. "Ahhhhhhhh!" (Giant ripping sound) "There. Got it out." "B-but dad, there is a huge bald spot on your chin!" "So? Go shoot some arrows or something. Learn some Elvish lessons. Just get out of my hair!" "But dad, what hair?" "Arrrgh!"

"Daddy Púrin, can I see our family tree?"

"Of ocurse you can, Dúrin! First, there's Húrin, then Túrin, then Múrin, then Lúrin, then Cúrin, then Júrin, then Búrin, then Fúrin, then Súrin, then Zúrin, then Vúrin, then Núrin, then Uúrin, then Púrin, Dúrin...Ú-c-rin?"

And don;t get me started on Húor's descendants...
