BK3 turned 3 last week, on Bonfire Night. Her multilingualism is coming in force, particularly since she started going to preschool two mornings a week, a few weeks ago. She does now often string correct sentences together in Arabic, English, German and French, albeit with loads of code-switching.
This morning at the breakfast table, BK1 is a bit moody, not having had enough sleep last night. BK3, wanting to make things better, offers her some peanut butter toast.
BabelDad: BK1 mag kein Erdnussbutterbrot
BK3: BK1 mag Honig?
BabelDad: Vielleicht
BK3: BK1, t'hebbi laassal?
BK1: Non
BK3: Papa, Lilia mag nicht Honig
