In Case You're Ever In Italy...
This morning as we were getting ready to go to school, Mackenzie and her classmate were discussing how she was going to stay with us when her parents go to Rome.
"Hey want to learn some Italian?" Mackenzie asked.
"Yeah!" was her friend's response.
"Okay 'Ciao' means hello AND goodbye in Italian. Can you say Ciao?"
"Ciao."
Then there was a pause. I hinted, "Grazie."
"Oh yeah," Mackenzie began to remember, "that means you're welcome...or thank you?"
"Thank you," I said, "you're welcome is prego."
"OH!" Mackenzie said as the light went on. "Gelato means ICE CREAM!"

amy, tell mackenzie i said that i think she rocks! the girl has her priorities in order indeed! who can complain atleast she is learning a different language with her ice cream.
I have to confess that she probably remembers that word due to the fact that it was our first Italian purchase and then a daily one every day after that! It beats the pants off our ice cream.
so will she be working on naming the flavors in italian? that would really be impressive, tell her to teach emma!
That is too sweet. Love the minds of the little ones!
