Donde esta el restaurante?

Home schooling is challenging and rewarding, and sometimes downright funny.

So, yesterday my daughter asks, "Why are we learning Latin?" She genuinely wanted to know, and I was pleasantly surprised to not hear it in a whiny why-do-we-have-to-do-this voice.

I answered, "It will help you as you learn other languages like Spanish, French, Italian..."

She says, "I told my friends I'm learning Spanish. I asked them if they knew Spanish. Then I asked them if they knew what Donde esta el restaurante? means and they said no. And then I said, 'See, I told you I know Spanish'."

As if asking one question in Spanish qualifies as knowing it. I pictured these little girls staring in awe at my little progeny and her beaming with pride.

We won't tell them that's probably all she remembers for now.
