Overheard

Last night I picked Amelia up from child care and she says to me:

"Mama, I want cuatro (Spanish for four) things when we get home."

"Uno - I want somefing to eat."

"Dos - I want somefing to drink."

"Tres - I want to watch a Dora (where do you think she learned to count in Spanish?)"

"Cuatro - I want a binkie (don't judge me - she usually only gets it at night).

When John gets home I relay this story - "Isn't she clever? What higher order thinking!"

John's response, "yes, she is amazing. She can articulate what she wants in numerical, Spanish order and she still sh*ts in her pants."
