Is not the first question my daughter has asked me that I haven't understood right away. The mixing of two languages at home sometimes shows up in daily converstaion (in fact she isn't the only one that does it, I find myself doing the same every so often)
Today's mix up was as usual the conjugation of an Italian verb according to English grammar in the middle of a sentence in English. Usually this isn't a problem for me since I understand where she is coming from. However this time she said it in the middle of a whine and paired with my ear infection it took me a few minutes to figure out what on earth my child was saying until I decided to ask her "how does babbo say it?"
(whistle in Italian is fischiare)
that is adorable! I hope you wrote it in her "baby" book
