Every once in a while, I try to teach Will some Spanish. I understand Spanish better than I speak it, but usually I can hold my own conversationally. I could order in a restaurant and I take a lot of housing application requests. And hey, when there were some kids messing around in the parking lot at work, I had no trouble telling them to get lost OR ELSE!
Anyway, last night while I was helping Will into his pajamas, I was trying to teach him "Give me your foot" in Spanish. "Give me your foot" in Spanish is "Deme su pie." (De-ME su PE-Ay. Please remember phonetic spelling in Spanish is not my forte) Instead, he says "Deme su hooray!" Loosely translated, "Give me your hooray!" We had such a good laugh about it, that he now says it repeatedly. Tonight we tried "What's your name?" What he comes out with is "What's your yummy?" Ah, my bilingual comedian. :)
