Tonight Lily asked me to read a few stories to her before bed. She indicated specifically that she wanted a French book or two… Why, I don’t know, but that was her preference.
In effort to aid me in choosing her book of the night, she hopped out of bed and went to her library, with me on her heels. Fascinated that she would know which are French and which are not, as if she can read or something… She doesn’t want people knowing she can read at this point.
She picked up two books, one written in French, and the other, Italian. She handed me both and said, “See? Here, these are French, so let’s read them.”
I indicated to her the one book was indeed in French, but then I started to read the other one. Her response was, “That’s not French!”
– No my dear, your ear is accurate… this one happens to be Italian.
