Dinosaurs and English
Wami's fear has come true sooner than she thought. For the first time yesterday, Taisei corrected his mama's English. It occurred at bedtime, when I was away taking care of Boy Scouts. Taisei had had a big "Dinosaur-day." They read dinosaur books at the library for story time, so he checked out several dinosaur books for bedtime. Here's the conversation:Mama: "Dino-pets..." (title of the book)
Taisei: "No, mama. It's Di-no-saaaaur!"
Mama: "Ok. Di-no-so-ah, ne."
Taisei: "Mama, Di-No-saoR." (attempting to enunciate)
Probably as Taisei's English gets better and better, which will be faster than it was for me, since my parents primarily spoke Mandarin at home when I was this age, Taisei will probably give his mama a harder and harder time. Poor Mama. :) The funny thing is - so far, Taisei himself has a Japanese accent sometimes.

I laughed so hard on this one. Oh well, sooner or later, I'll be on the same boat as Wami. :(

Ha ha, I've noticed Taisei's occasional Japanese accent. It's adorable on him. That's funny that he made a correction.

Haha! That's funny. Is "dinosoah ne" the Japanese way to say dinosoar, or is it just the way Wami pronounced it?
