Jomar and his brother, Franklin, are playing in front of the house waiting for dinner and for the return home of their Grandpa. As friends and neighbours pass by - on skates, parading in new clothes, walking dogs or listening to music, young Jomar exchanges greetings with them all - showing off all the latest street slang, until his Granpa arrives and insists - teasingly - on a return to words he understands. Collage-style illustrations add to the exuberance of this playful celebration of colloquial language.
