Ethan has been picking up a few foreign language terms lately. He learns a little bit of Chinese (Mandarin) in school and he has been asking me how to count in French (thank goodness I paid attention in class), how to say simple phrases like hello, goodbye, etc. Other than French, he picked up how to say “hello” in Spanish.
Ethan: Hola!
Me: Hola! Yes, Ethan..that’s Hello in Spanish…just like Handy Manny, right?
Ethan: What, Mommy?
Me: You know, Handy Manny? He says, “Hola! Handy Manny’s Repair Shop! You break it…?”
Ethan (without missing a beat): YOU FIX IT!
Well…that’s how Ethan would run his “repair shop” 🙂
