Last night as I was leaving from my brother's and sister-in-law's home, I waved good bye to my one-year old nephew: "Feygo" (Greek for "I'm leaving").
And that adorable lump of little man reciprocated with enthusiastic waving and what sounded a lot like "Feygeis?" (Leaving?)
My sister-in-law and I stopped dead in our tracks and locked disbelieving stares, "Didja hear what I heard?"
So far, he says "papa", "mmmmmm" instead of mama (breaking my sister-in-law's heart), and a lot of incoherent baby talk with a side dish of baby drool.
Is it possible MY nephew is already conjugating verbs in question form?
Debriefing
- Flubberwinkle
- Athens, Greece
- Half of the day they call me "Athena" where I get paid to dabble with computers. The other half of the day I'm called "Mom", but I also have an online secret identity. I am bilingual, so what might look like Greek to you, probably is. I blog because it's cheaper than therapy and I like to make people laugh.
