POTO and Cabengo were Grace and Virginia Kennedy. In 1976, these San Diego twins were eight years old. Jean-Pierre Gorin created a study of the girls who spoke in their own secret language.Time magazine produced an extract of their dialogue:
Pinit, putahtraletungay”(Finish, potato salad hungry)“Nis, Poto?” (This, Poto?)“Liba Cabingoat, it”(Dear Cabengo, eat)“la moa, Poto?” (Here more, Poto?)“Ya” (Yeah)
