When my daughter and I talk about dinosaurs,
she always starts to talk about the dinosaur in Guam.

It always goes like this, always same.


P(my daughter): "I saw a dinosaur in Guam."

S(Sally): "Wow! Are you sure about that?"

P: "Yes! I saw a bone (of a dinosaur ) in Guam."

S: "Really〜？"

P: "Yeah! Daddy saw the dinosaur ,too!"

S: "Oh yeah? But I don't remember that."

P: "YOU WERE SHOPPING!!!"

S: "...I see."


I enjoyed shopping all alone and my daughter
spent most time with her father when we went to Guam
two years ago.

I love the way she yells "YOU WERE SHOPPING!"
with her hands on her waist and frowning.


Actually the dinosaurs she is talking about is not
really fossill. Just in case☆

When I told my daughter

"Hey, put this book away.",

my daughter said

"No. Not THIS but THAT. "

At first I didn't know what she was talking about.
Then she continued

"THIS is wrong. You have to say THAT."

And so I found out that she was trying to correct
my English. I was a kind of upset and started to
excuse myself explaining I was not wrong because
THE BOOK was close enough to use THIS.

I was surprised at myself excusing myself
so hard. And now I feel that maybe my daughter was
right and I shouldn't have talked her back that way.

Sometimes she speaks English so fast and she doesn't
even make a single mistake. Although it doesn't happen
so often, it's amazing.
