Second Language Acquisition

Ha ha! Just kidding. Pig Latin probably doesn't count, right?

Finn just sort of blew my mind by remarking that "Ebay" is "be" in pig latin. How had I never noticed this before? Perhaps there is more zen to the art of internet auction sales than I realized.

In other (still somewhat deceptive) second language news, Larkin (and Finn to a slightly lesser degree) has been very interested in learning sign language recently. I've been pleased with how much I am able to dredge up from those long ago junior high school years when I attended the local target school for deaf students. My old sign language dictionary has been pulled from bookshelf obscurity and put to good use.
