Did I mention that I hoped a stay with my non-French-speaking mom would get my girl to activate her German? It turns out this is sometimes easier than expected.

The other evening, my girl (two-and-a-half) was delaying going to bed by slowing down the undressing process:

“Maman, attends !” (“Mommy, wait!”)
Me (slightly unnerved because this had been going on for a while): “Nein, Schluss mit attends!” (No, no more attends!”)
She (not getting my point): “Warte!” (“Wait!” – in German, this time.)
