Judy Asks, "What does Krik Krak! mean? What Does Tim Tim, Bwa Sèch Mean? How Do You Say Twins in Creole?

Judy, thanks for writing. In Haiti, riddles are introduced with "Tim Tim." The kids answer "Bwa chèch or Bwa sèch." By answering, Bwa sèch, they show readiness to listen and pay attention.

Stories are introduced with Krik, Krak!

The storyteller says "Krik!" and the kids answer "Krak!" to show their readiness to listen and pay attention.

twins means marasa or jimo
