The other day we met our former neighbours in the playground. The mom is German too, and her son is three years older than my girl and already fluently bilingual. We used to meet frequently when they still lived next door.
The kids played together and we talked until it was time to leave. As we headed towards the exit, my girl and I were trailing a few steps behind. She started to panic that the others would leave without us and called after them.
“Attends! Attends! Attends!”
“Wart!”
and finally
“Wart auf mich!”
First time I heard that from her. 🙂
