Ballerina's Tribulations

Okay, Ballerina doesn’t have any tribulations. She’s only 3 for goodness sake. But she called and talked to me the other day. She said “Hi Tink, how are you doing?” then sang the alphabet song, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” and counted to 30 for me. Sometimes it is difficult to understand what she is saying. Not because she is only 3 but because she speaks English and Japanese. Makes for some interesting conversations. Maybe one day she can teach me Japanese.

She also speaks Balladaddy. The secret language she and her daddy talk in. Personally, I think Daddy had more to do with making it up than she did. And I don’t think they are going to teach that language to anyone
