English is confusing

Did you ever stop to think about it?

Apple sounds like "a ball" and looks like a ball, but you can't throw it.

These are two of Keanu's favorite words to say, but it's hard to tell what he's talking about. Actually, he loves to say several B and P words, like Baba (daddy in Chinese), Ba (bus), Be (baby), Pe (puppy)... Isn' he cute? He doesn't usually do two syllables, but instead he chooses whichever is easier to say - the first or the last. He'll often repeat the last word that someone else says, too. For instance tonight I asked him to say "see you tomorrow" to Grandma and Aunt Teresa. What did he say? "Morrow." It's becoming so much fun because he's saying more and more every day!

You can throw an apple. The Applefest people did as they walked with their float through the parade. If you were lucky enough to catch one, you had a good apple to eat. Sure better than all that candy!

Funny one, Mom!

I bet he knows more Taiwanese and Chinese than he does English. Right? Are you learning more, too?
