Last week He-Man and I made a trip over to see Baby Girl, The Handsome Surveyor, and the boys.
One afternoon 8 year old #1 Grandson came down the stairs to the top of the landing and said, ” Grandma, I can count to 6 in French! Wanna hear me do it?”
I replied, “Of course I do!” Picture this -his mom, and He-Man were also in the living room all ears now. #1 Grandson stood up tall, and as if on a stage at the top of the landing he began to count,
“Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cino, seis!!!”
It was perfect Spanish and I told him it was. 😂 Not French but, very well done!

Merci beaucoup, Cher Robert!! 😀
A homegrown one liner … excellent! I still have nightmares about being in French class and not knowing what the heck they are saying!
LOL! I listen to a bit of French daily and still can’t understand half of it! I speak it even less!😂
🤣 That’s so cute. And it’s always great to be keen to learn any languages.😊
Thank you so much, Lili! I agree. I wish I was fluent in more than one language!
So fun to see you at the River last week! Did you get any good bird pictures? Have a Very Happy Thanksgiving!
It was great seeing you at the river last week! The Townsend Solitaire came out good, but no other birds.
What was the name of the book you were telling me about…something pocket?
I hope you have a lovely Happy Thanksgiving!!
Fun story, Deborah. Cheers to the joy of life.
Thank you so much, Jet! I’m glad you enjoyed this post.
I love this!!
Super cute!
😀 It was so cute!
That’s cute. On the other hand, “8 year old #1 Grandson” ??? That has to be a typo…right?
It was so cute! Are you sitting down? He’s going to be 9 next month! I’m not ready!!!
Wow – that’s so hard to believe.
I know it is for me too. Littlest will be 3 in January! Time flies too fast.
Have a lovely week-end! I’m off to the bar to see what’s happening and enjoy the conversation. 😀
LOL
😂
Haha. So cute.
It was very cute! Thank you, Cheryl!
Good for him 😊. The more languages we all can speak the better!
Agreed! Thank you so much, Belinda!
How sweet Deborah, it did give me a laugh. I can remember performing for my uncle when he came, and how we showed off our newly learnt skills. If he keeps learning he may be quite a charmer, I remember when I was learning French, an older girl asked me what “I love you” was in French so she could tell her boyfriend. I am sure he would have gone “Uh ?!” not out of surprise but out of ignorance 🙂
LOL! I bet he did if she was able to say it.
We all had a good laugh, and we’re so happy he’s decided to learn how to count in another language.
I’m still trying to learn French!
Applause to your family linguist. Let’s face it, an eight-year old grandson lights up the room no matter what language he speaks. 🙂
That’s so true, Judy! Thank you! 😍
🙂 What fun! Languages certainly can be tricky. I’m learning Norwegian right now and it’s very interesting. Just a bit like German and with lots less words than most languages. Also it’s impossible to go to a bookstore and pick up a book on learning Norwegian!! Just gotta keep my voice going up and down in that Scandinavian way, right? 🙂
French and Norwegian! You are ambitious. 😀
I’ve stopped with French because by the time I’m able to visit again, they should be in Norway.
Oh. That’s cool and going to be a neat place to visit them in.
“Cool” might be the operative word, Deborah, depending upon when I go. Right now I’m not worried about it as they haven’t moved yet and I have no idea how long I’ll need to be helping with Mom and Dad plus the whole Covid thing.
Ha! Muy bueno
😀 Merci beaucoup, Ally!
😄
Ha! I’m not sure I was speaking fluent English at the age of 8, let alone a foreign language. Kudos to grandson for his accomplishment!
I know right! Thank you so much, Mary! 😀
Fun story, Deborah. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading it, John! 😀
Still, Grandma proud!! 🥰 Love this shot, Deborah, especially the shadow running down the pier!
I am! 😍 That badge for the challenge is a cool shot. It’s not my image though. The photographer has their name on the upper right corner. I hope he or she sees your comment on it! 😀
French or Spanish, at least there’s Romance in his life.
LOL! That’s good, Steve!! 😀
Would you expect less from someone who studied Romance linguistics in graduate school?
No, I wouldn’t! 😀
One must enjoy the excitement of those moments. And the accomplishment. Thanks Deborah.
We surely do! Thank you so much, John. 😀
