Kate, I was very sad that, had I been born a year later, I could have entered a French immersion program. My French is almost non-existent, even though my Dad is bilingual.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.

Yay cake! Also, people want you to have a good day in Natter as well.
It's such a great gift to give your kids.
When it's done right (like Fiona and her SO with Benno), it sure is.
However, when not, it can confuse the poor child to no end. A daughter of a friend of mine, 3.5 years old, speaks Hebrew with the sentence-structure of English, hardly ever any English, and lacks lots of words in both languages, because her parents insisted on speaking with her in English. It's not the mother tongue of any of them, so they have lots of mistakes, and they keep slipping into Hebrew without noticing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY, FIONA!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Fiona--I hope you have a wonderful birthday. Your posts show you to be a smart and interesting and, especially, a warm-hearted and open person. I always enjooy reading them. Happy birthday!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What Robin Said, Fiona! Happiest of Birthdays to you!

Happy Birthday Fi! Tell Benno to shape up and give his Mom more cake.
