This school year, Boookie and Ela are taking Spanish 101 with the Hobbit Wife dusting off her high school and college classes in order to instruct them. As Spanish is slowly starting to percolate out of Tuesday/Thursday/Friday afternoons, it has led to some funny exchanges.
Boookie, hollering down the stairs: Dos hermanos pequeños!
Eejee excitedly yells to Seimi: That means it's time for lunch!
Last Friday, as we were heading to dinner at our favorite local Mexican restaurant, the Mayor told Boookie and Ela they should order their food in Spanish.
The Hobbit Wife said, They actually haven't learned any food-related words yet, nor have they started in on conversational phrases. We've been focused on grammar and conjugation so far.
Boookie added, Nosotros no hablamos el Español.
Clásico.
