It is often assumed that we don't understand so it can be quite entertaining listening to the comments people make. Yesterday Jada and I were on the bus heading towards Mikes work to join him for supper. There was a father and his young son.
Boy: The baby is crying.
Father: Yes, the baby is crying.
Boy: The mother does not yell at the baby.
Father: Yes, the baby is still very young.
Boy: The baby is crying again....now the baby isn't crying.
Father: The baby is asleep. Babies cry when they are tired, when they grow older they don't cry.
Father: The mother is getting the baby ready to get off the bus. (narrating what I am doing).
Boy: But I wanted to hold the baby.
Father: The baby is sleeping. You are going to have to find another baby to hold.
This is a regular occurance when we go to meet mike for supper but this one was especially cute so I decided to post it.

It's always entertaining to hear other people talk about you in another language when they assume you don't understand. Do you ever respond to them? Please post more of these when they happen!
