Thank you Dora?

Kael: Mommy, are people who speak English blind? (random, I know)

me: I proceed to explain to him that we speak English, and people in other countries have a language of their own that we don't speak or understand. As an example, I tell him that people in Mexico speak Spanish.

Kael: Oh, do they talk like this? He then recites to me in Spanish 1-10. I'd write it out if he recited it in German. I think I'm the only HS student who didn't take Spanish.


The sad thing about this is I did not teach him that. I'm not even sure if he learned it in pre-school. The only other explanation is Dora. The funny thing is he gave up Dora about 2 years ago. He REFUSES to watch it because she's a girl. Go figure.

How cute is that! Kael's world is expanding right before your eyes. Did you tell him that here in the Philippines there are a lots of different languages spoken with in the same country. Tagolog is the national language but, most people can speak some English. Tell Kael that me and Papa say "Mahal ko ang ating Tagapagligtas,Hesukristo."
I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. We will teach him how to say that when we get home. Love You Mom
