Alyosha's words

  • At the dinner table: "More Samalami Please. "
  • I'm just chute chuting you. (chute chute is 'kidding' in Russian)
  • Gala: You get 3 wishes what do you want them to be.
    Alyosha: mmmm a snowman!
    Gala: Ok, we will see about that one
    what else?
    Alyosha: some flowers...
    Gala: that is an easy one.
    and what else, think really hard it is your last one. Alyosha: mmmmmm Some Cartoons!!!
  • The reason that Aleks refuses to speak Russian to me. He even translates what others are saying for me: "I don't want to speak Russian to you Mama. You need to go to school and learn more from the teacher."
  • The reason Aleks said that he burned his hand: "The fire walked on my hand then it died. Then there was some dim (smoke) and it died. It walked on my eye too. " He has a little burn under his eye too.

Jen, that is too funny about Al not speaking Russian to you. This spring I had the following conversation with a 6-yr-old here in the RFE, David, whose mom is American and dad is Russian (he speaks both languages flawlessly):

David: Шерил, знаешь что?
me: Что, Дейвид?
David: Надо научить тебя хорошо говорить по-русски.
me (удивлена): Да?
David: Да, ты чуть плохо говоришь!

Устами младенца глаголит истина...
