Ha ha ha! That's so funny. She has you twisted around her little finger from the sounds of things - but it's such a gorgeous little finger that who wouldn't be?

I don't think we have a vegetarian on our hands. Lil Star was really looking forward to taking her little bro and showing him round our favourite campsite in Italy but they are already fully booked. Talking about where else to go:
L'il Star: Can we go to India, I'd love to go to India Me: mmmm I'd love to but maybe in a couple of years, we'll probably go somewhere closer this year. LS: I know! Wales! What animals do they have in Wales? Me: Sheep LS: mmmmm, yum yum Tasty sheep, let's go to Wales. I love eating baby sheep.

my little brother had a lot of fun with all the snow this easter, and built a sled run. then he said to my dad "if there is still lots of snow on my birthday, let's build an even bigger sled run then, and celebrate my birthday playing with sleds."
his birthday is in mid-may.

Back in the good old days before tampons etc I was sent for a napkin (diaper for the USers), for my brother. Came back with a cloth sanitary pad and told the assembled company that as I couldn't find a nappy for my brother here was one of Mummys.

there is a highland cow at the petting zoo in the local park. today i heard two kids discussing what it is - the older said it is a cow, the younger was for some reason convinced it is a dinosaur...

apparently today my brother told mr. r. that two friends of his dug out a nuclear bomb from hitler on the playground...
also, i asked him if another friend of his went to school in austria when she was living there. he said she hasn't been to austria. i, a bit surprised, asked where she has been then. he said, she has been in vienna...

This morning they showed a snip of a Beyonce music video on the news. Little Star said:
“I don’t think it is really hot enough to wear that. That girl is just showing off wearing that, it is full of holes and has no bottom she must be cold” As she shook her head in disbelief.
I’ll remind her of that in 10 or so years time.

Yesterday I was playing Josh Groban in the car. He was singing in Italian. Miss Molly (who picks up a tune quickly and sings along to everything) was trying to sing along, but soon realised that it was not English. She said "I don't like this" I said "why" "Because I don't know what he is saying" "well, I don't know either, but it is still beautiful. We don't always have to understand things to love them" She gave me the Don't Be Stupid look and said "but what if he is singing about how ugly you are?"

Today we went to a Chinese market, Miss Molly was not impressed. She said "I am more of an English place kind of girl"

met a little girl at the pediatricians office while ago, in the waiting room. she was playing with a. and chatting with me. she told me that she is four years old. i asked her when she is going to turn five. she answered: "on my next birthday."

yeah, looking forward to that. so far all she says is "mamamam" and "gagaga" though, if anyone understands that they can translate ...

don't know if this counts ...
but the other day i was walking home with her, and she kept saying "mama". i told her to say "papa" several times, but each time she said "mama". then we stopped in front of a shop to look at the dresses (wedding dresses and fancy evening gowns) inside. she looked at them and suddenly said "papa".

Heh, rikita.
My 5 year old nephew started French immersion kindergarten in September. After the first week I was talking to him about it and I asked if he speaks some French now. He said "Oh, yes, I speak quite a lot of French now!".
then he told me his teacher's name was Madame Frost, "but that's in French. I don't know her name in English".

Post by rikita on Jan 5, 2014 9:41:09 GMT 2
hehe ... btw, how is the immersion working? are part of the kids French speaking, or all English speaking and only the teachers speak French to them?

Post by Scrubb on Jan 5, 2014 15:46:33 GMT 2
rikita, I don't think any of the kids are French speaking. There are very few French-speakers in our city and those that do live here probably want to be in English school to learn English.
His dad (my brother) is a French teacher so he has lots of support at home.

I've had Delicious's older sister with me over the last few days. She informed me that she had packed her bag and as I don't have a really good toy box (how remiss of me) she had brought everything she needed with her. There was not one item of clothing in it. Her Dad winked at me and nodded at the other bag in the corner.

btw, today i looked at a picture book with a. - i keep asking her to point to the animals, but she rarely does. when i said "where is the pig? show me the pig." for some reason she put her hand up to my face ...

kuskiwi, remiss of you indeed! My nephew has a permanent stock of toys that live at his grandma's house, but he still brings over a backpack of other toys every time he visits.

My 3,5 year old niece had a conversation with her mother about snowwhite. My niece: I am not evil! She blinks with her big eyes and continued: I am very evil!

A friend came over to visit. I asked would she like to stay for lunch, she was a bit undecided, I said I had some nice sliced meat, plenty of bread etc. Yes, she'd love to stay for lunch. A short while later, I had to put the washing on the line. Came back inside, she said she wasn't able to stay for lunch and left quite suddenly. She seemed a bit funny - sort of distant. I thought that's strange. Asked Master 3 what had happened. Had he said something to offend her. No. He said, "I told her mum got mouldy bread and she's giving you mouldy bread for lunch." But I don't have mouldy bread. Yes you do. No I don't. Asked to show me. He did - it was multigrain bread. I was mortified. The next time I saw her, I explained what had happened. I always thought she didn't quite believe me.
Looking back on it now with the passage of time, instead of getting all huffy and buggering off like she did, she should have stayed. Perhaps said something like Master 3 says we're having mouldy bread for lunch.

that is indeed a strange reaction. when saying master 3, do you mean your kid was 3 years old at the time?
