Today Daddy remarked to me, “She’s talking really well,” after another full sentence from our girl.
I couldn’t help but sigh “If only she did it in German.”
Whereupon Daddy turned to her and said, “Tu parles en allemand à maman ?” (You speak German with Mommy?)
Her answer: “Non.”
Daddy: “Pourquoi pas ?” (Why not?)
She: “C’est Mickey parle allemand.” (Only Mickey [Mouse] speaks German.”)

Explanation: She is allowed to watch episodes of Mickey Mouse, but only in German.

Daddy and I looked at each other and shrugged.
Me: “Aber Oma spricht auch deutsch.” (But Grandma also speaks German.)
And unthinkingly, Daddy added: “Oma parle comme Mickey.”

Oops…

(Let’s hope my mom doesn’t read this…)
