Learning Spanish

It really does not seem fair at times but we all know that it is easier to learn a langauge the younger you are. Even with our children the younger ones seem to have an advantage. So this morning we were getting ready for school. I called upstairs and the conversation went like this:

Tully: Trey, qué está haciendo? (in English "what are you doing.")
Trey (age 15): What do you mean?
Elijah (age 6): He said, "what are you doing?"

We all learn at our own speeds and all of us are learning to speak Spanish. The girls are starting to speak spanglish. The other day Carmen said, "daddy, I want some aqua (water)." And she asked, "where are my zapatos (shoes)." Poco a poco.
