Great. I'm raising a literalist
Tonight in our apartment:
Swissmiss: Small Boy, be careful about those boxes.
Small Boy drives tractor into boxes.
R: Hey, hat Mama nit vorsichtig gesagt? [Hey, didn't Mama just say be careful?]
Small Boy, shaking his head: Uh-uh
R: Hat Mama "careful" gesagt?
Small Boy: Yah!
Labels: about a boy, bilingual baby, me talk pretty one day, the expat files

I loved this post--this definitely sounds like something that would happen in our house. It used to happen because S and B were being literalists, but now it happens when they're being naughty. :-)
So funny!
