• Before he begins any sentence to express disgust, surprise, amazement,etc : "Eeeyea....!"
• When he's trying to tell us something that happened : "And then ah.... (some details of the story)...and then ah.... (more details of the story)... and then ah... (some more details of the story)..."
• When agreeing with us or sharing a joke about Ivan : "Chuckle, chuckle...yeah lor!"
• When we have parked our car and upon walking away from the car : "Have you locked the car yet?"

• And...everyday, and at any time of the day (or night) : "Aaaaaaaah!!!" (...as in high-pitched screeeeccchhhing!!!!)....while jumping (on the spot or off some furniture), hopping or zipping around like some scared & beserked jack rabbit throughout the house (ours or at Poh-Poh's)
