It’s Gonna Be Just Fine
December 1st, 2009
There are times when I lose hope and just want to strangle Paige to death because she’s so frustrating to me. Then I hang out with a herd of teenagers and I figure, respective to the lot of them – she’s doing just fine.
When Paige was in Kindergarten, I enrolled her in a Spanish Immersion school. At this point, she is pretty fluent and only took Spanish in middle school for the practice.
The other day, she was helping a friend with her Spanish grammar and I asked the question:
Me: Paige, do you ever dream in Spanish?
Paige: Yeah, sometimes. I used to when I was in elementary school, but now, not so much.
[Unnamed] Friend: What does that mean?
Paige: What do you mean?
Friend: Dreaming in Spanish?
Paige: You know, when you have a dream and everyone is speaking in Spanish.
Friend: Why would I dream in Spanish? I don’t even speak Spanish.
Paige: Duh. You only speak English. I speak Spanish and sometimes dream in Spanish.
Friend: Sometimes I have dreams and there are Mexicans in them. Is that the same?
