Boy2 is 3 years old. He'll be 4 in September.
His only regular sources of English are me, Boy1, and animated pictures.
All of this had led to a slightly quirky variety of 3 year-old English.
For example.
This morning, while Boy1 was at sports activity, Boy2 and I went out for beverages. Surprise, surprise.
I was looking for a parking place. Boy2 said, 'I've spotted one, Mama. Over there."
"Really?"
"No, Mama, I'm actually just teasing you."
Actually.
Later, at the café, I noticed some chocolate on my arm. Given the fact that I'm not currently eating chocolate, I asked Boy2 why I had chocolate on my arm.
"Cause I eat like a little pig."
Actually, that's true.

I thought you gave up "beverages". I will make sure that boy2 gets some real good language lessons this summer.
I love the honesty of children! Did beverages include your forbidden beverage. . .by the way how is that going - any breakdowns yet?
Zeb and Beth - oh thanks, both of you, for the vote of confidence. I've been utterly successful with the chocolate and I've cut way back on the coffee. Of course, as a reward, I've got the worst cold sore throat snot infested virus ever.
I remember that virus - we had it in March! So, what is you beverage of choice now?
Bwahahaha!
Oh the language thing is so funny. I grew up in France too, with American parents and I get teased all the time for my weird Frenchisms.
Nicole- off topic, is the new president a good thing or a bad thing.
