I had a playdate with my new friend Soo-ji today. A snippet of conversation from dinner:

Daddy: Do Soo-ji's parents speak Korean to her at home?

Mommy: I don't know. Yono claims she doesn't speak Korean. She understands it, but she doesn't speak it.

Me: I speak Korean.

Mommy and Daddy: (laughter)

Me: I speak Gram. Can we see Gram? [Note: Gram is pronounced "garee-am" in Maddie-ese and therefore sounds kind of like "Korean."]

Daddy: Not "Gram" -- "Korean"!

Me: Gram is in Korea?

Sweetheart, When Gram comes to see you in March, we're going to march ourselves straight to the toy store and buy ourselves a globe. For the next few years, you'll be following Gram around on the globe. But before you can say 'jack robinson', Gram will need to keep the globe and follow you around on it! (We'll have to ask Nana about jack robinson. I haven't got a clue who he was!)
Love, Gram
