Have you seen that movie Fun with Dick and Jane where their little boy is practically raised by the Mexican nanny? I had a few fun similar experiences with our son this week that reminded me of that. Don't take this too far out of context, my wife is home with our kids all day long but for a few hours each week we have a Spanish teacher come who only speaks Spanish to our kids. She will take our son J to the park and walk him around the neighborhood and play games and teach the whole time. This has been going on for one month now and the kids have become very used to her being around... maybe a little too used to her.
Example 1:
This last week during prayer J started including her in our evening prayers
Mom: "and we're thankful for..."
J: "Rosa"
Mom: "and?..."
J: "Rosa"
Mom: "and Mommy?!"
J: "and Rosa!"
Mom: "in the name of..."
J: "Rosa, Amen"
Example 2:
This morning while Mom was in the bathroom getting ready and I was on the computer looking up the definition of blasphemy, my kids were calling for their mother(s).
R: "mommee"
J: "Rosa"
R: "mommmeee!"
J: "Rosssaa!"
