Sayings

Zaky was telling me a little boy shared a cookie with him at school and he said "merci", I asked him how he says please at school ie 'French'. He answers "froker"" I clarified, ' yes it is froker'. My French is very poor but I don't think that is right.

Arm skin:
Zaky is laying on the ground pulling on loose skin behind his knee. He says "I have this skin too, mama". I know he said skin but ask him what he means. "I have that skin that hangs down like you do, but mine is on my leg, and your's is on your arm, gramma Wanda's is on her arm too". "Jonas when you get big you'll have this hanging down skin too."

Zaky laying peacefully on the carpet looking up at me says " Mama your teeth are yellow, why do you have yellow teeth". Slightly perturbed and self conscious I answer "because I drink a lot of coffee". Still looking up at me he replies "not all of them are yellow, white yellow white yellow"

Jonas' sayings with translation:
Pig snot - pig snout
Water mountain - water fountain
No - yes
Yes - no
It's snot - it's not
Anna-wena - Lena
