Interesting. Thanks for the update. You may have already answered this, but how heavily do you use lojban with them? Do you mostly pepper them with it occasionally or do you go whole hog "daddy doesn't know English" style?

The understand Lojban as well as they understand English, i.e. they
can handle complex clauses like {xu do citka ba lo nu vimstizu
pilno} and {.e'o ko cpacu le lumci bukpu noi trixe do}.  They have
almost entirely stopped emitting it, though, unless I insist.  The
only exception is when they don't have an adequate translation.  For
example, {vanci sanmi} means "KFC and cookies", because I sometimes
take them out for that in the evenings.

Amusingly, F has, a couple of times now, referred to Lojban as "you
funny words".
