Scout’s Chinese is hilarious. I think because it is a language that focuses on tones (it has four tones per syllable), it is just a really funny language to hear. Especially when Scout speaks. He emphasizes the tones, and it is classic! In honor of his new language speaking skills, I often have him speak Chinese for others.
The other day, while Britni Seastrand was over, I had him do a little showing off. In response, she offered her own version of Chinese back to him. When she finished, she said, “What did I say?” She was getting a little sassy with Scout. But she got a taste of her own medicine when he responded with, “I don’t know, but something about Christmas.” She gasped, and couldn’t believe that in her own Chinese made-up talk, she got the word Christmas in there.
When she told me the story, I was dying! Like he knows the word for Christmas. But, clearly he knows how to pull one over on someone! I better start learning Chinese, because I don’t want to be his daily victim.
