Bilingualism in preadolescence

01-3-2017-o-tired-sm

Any parent of a pre-teen or teen can relate to a situation that goes
like this: you ask your kid something with kindness, and a loud response
is instantly thrown back at you by your VERY annoyed kid. Obviously,
silly you, it was the wrong question. Still, I appreciated the layer of
humor that the bilingualism of my child added this time. She did too
when I showed her this drawing. We had a good laugh 🙂

I want one!

Don’t know what Marie Antoinette would think of this, but my kid though it was the coolest idea! It came up in a conversation at home, we explained what it was carefully, fearing it would lead to nightmares… ehem, not quite!  – Got any watermelons?
