When our nanny was out with the chicken pox ( enter high pitched sing-song voices: 'Maricela tiene varicela!' ) we had to bring the girls with us to work. Helps that we work at the best school in Manzanillo. Anyway, first day in and Jorgie and Phoebe have lots of questions for one another, like this one....
What's your teacher's name Jorge?
Miss Funny!
No es cierto...
Si! Es cierto! Her name is Miss. Funny!
Are you lying?
No! I'm not lying, her name is Miss. Funny.
( Long pause while Phoebe ponders the notion of having a teacher named Miss. Funny )
Is she funny?
It's as I mentioned before, tiny little bilingual people make wonderful mistakes. Jorgie's teacher may well be a funny lady, I don't know her very well, but that's not actually her name. She is Stefani. Or Fani, for short. But not to us, here in the Sandcastle, she is and will forever be, Miss. Funny.
Greatest. Name. Ever.
