L: Hi. My name is Leilani, and what is your name?<\/p>\n
A: I am Ariel.<\/p>\n
L: Oh like the Nixe (Leilani used the correct word but in German an I could really see that she was trying to find the correct english word mermaid)<\/p>\n
[no answer]<\/p>\n
L: Look I have turtles on my dress. <\/p>\n
[Ariel is starting to warm up]<\/p>\n
A: Oh, nice. Look I have an octopus.<\/p>\n
L: Beautiful. I like this dress to go and dance in.<\/p>\n
A: You like to dance?<\/p>\n
L: Yes, very much. This dress dances nicely. (means it swings great when she spinns) Does yours dance?<\/p>\n
A: It is a very pretty dress.<\/p>\n
(2 hour long break)<\/p>\n
L: Oh like the mermaid (The background job had finished processing and found the correct english word). Ariel, Ariel like the mermaid.<\/p>\n
(I think Arial had heard that a few times before but she forgave Leilani and they played a little)<\/p>\n
L: Would you like to come to my house and play (the party had turned a bit stale, the bouncy castle had been picked up and most of the bigger kids were gone)<\/p>\n
A: Yes<\/p>\n
S: Ahhhm, Leilani we will invite Ariel to our Goodbye party…<\/p>\n
L: Noooo! I want her to come to my house now.<\/p>\n
S: We really need to get going…<\/p>\n

Ariel is 7 or 8 btw, and I thanked her a few times for being so nice to Leilani.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago I realized Leilani had surpassed my mom in computer skills (sorry mom) but now I realize she has surpassed Andy and me in smalltalk abilities…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
