I figured we would be in for some conflict and misunderstandings as we raised the boys, but I figured it wouldn't come to fruition until at least they were tweens. Apparently, I am not the best guesser in the world.
Max was trying to talk to Jeff the other day. And Jeff just looked really confused and started pulling out all sorts of guesses from his hat. Max just kept repeating "Mah Nee, please". Jeff could not figure it out...finally, he asked me to come into the room to help him interpret what Max was trying to convey.
Mah Nee = "Come Here" in Laotian and Thai.
Jeff has actually done a really great job of learning both languages. He understands most of what is being said and can say a of things. It will be very interesting to see exactly when Max will pass his Dad up when it comes to speaking Laotian and Thai.
Rosetta Stone here we come....
