Helen's use of language is nothing, if not inspired. She regularly identifies objects with perfectly reasonable names, but are terms used exclusively by her. For example, this weekend she needed to wear her "belt rope". She needed this to hold her tights up. In order for the "belt rope" to work, it needed to be in a double knot.
For the record, a "belt rope" is a piece of fabric used as a belt and tied, rather than being closed with a traditional buckle. The particular piece of fabric she was using was actually a belt from a pair of maternity shorts I wore when I was pregnant with her.
