Kids' Language

A week ago I happened to go home, to my parents' house.

I met my two heroes.. (that's how I call my nephews) ^___^

I haven't seen them for around 5 months and found many changes in them.

From the way they act to the way they talk..

I did study Second Language Acquisition and found certain cases in one of my nephews.

He started to use certain words of English.

He even taught me some words..

That impressed me a lot since when he was younger I was the one who taught him to say things in English.

One day, I asked him to do something and I forgot to say thanks, then he smiled at me and said "you should say thank...." waiting for my response, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer since he told me to continue the word 'thank..' 

I opened my eyes widely and tested him "thank what?"

Then he answered "thank you...you should say thank you to me"

Not only that, he also taught me the word 'speed bump'

When we were in the car and suddenly passed through some speed bumps he said "those things are speed bump... speed... bump..."

hahaha things change really fast, I cannot notice one by one...
