Baby B is 6 months


My little cutie patootie of a niece is 6 and half  months old. Love this darling face!

Forgotten Quirks: Commercials...

If I was devoted to learning something from watching cable here, then I could have been fluent in the basics of the Hindi language.

Every commercial is in Hindi.

Alas, I have only learned that 'Abkah' and 'Hay' is said a lot.

Forgotten Quirks - Charades

I forget how charades is game I play daily while I live overseas.

Except this game's outcome will determine if the other person will understand what I am trying to say in Dari (not English!).

Don't get me wrong, I have conquered the language basics. I  can speak and communicate. I can tell stories. However, there are still some vocab that I just don't know... or forget...

And at those times... charades is a game that has become my best friend.

Maybe one day I will have a series of pictures of me speaking to a local in a language other than English...

So until then, enjoy imagining it!
