My son communicates with us with lines from movies he watches. For example, when he doesn't want to use the bathroom he will throw his bottom onto the toilet and say, 'I'm in sad shape' (Charlie Brown, as he sits down at Lucy's psyciatric stand). If he is being scolded for something he'll say, 'Hey! Whats going on here, are you crazy?'...another Charlie Brown movie. Examples are many. Anyone elses kiddo communicate through script?
I don't remember my children doing this growing up...I'm sure they did to some extent, but it wasn't their primary means of communicating.
But now that they're both grown, I hear a lot of scripted speech from the tv that they use to speak to each other. Of course I don't get it, but they are very happily in their own little communicative world!
