Darby is well into the “mine” stage of being a two-year-old at the moment. It doesn’t matter what it is, he claims ownership.

“It’s mine!”

So when we were at our friend’s place today, and Darby was playing with his near-three-year-old friend who happens to speak German and English, he heard the word “mein” and he wanted a piece of the action.

Ella was saying “my room” in German.

Just imagine two two-year-olds yelling at each other “mein zimmer” and only one of them actually understanding what it meant.

Once my friend explained what her daughter was saying, I was just in stitches. I wish I’d had my phone so I could get a video. It was just too much.

I don’t think I’ll be teaching Darby German any time soon. Too many “meins”.
