Word of the Day
Yesterday, I mentioned in that in my pursuit of teaching Mary Esther to speak Tagalog, I would institute a "Word of the Day" strategy and I started with
halik, meaning kiss
I told Mary what the word was, had her repeat it numerous times and told her what it meant and SHOWED her what it meant (gave her a few smooches while I was saying halik, halik. But when I asked her to halik me, this is what she did.
She was being funny- she wanted me to think that she thought I was telling her to lick me. It was pretty funny until she did it one too many times and my face was sticky with laway (spit).
Today's Word of the Day was dikit - to stick onto a surface. We were doing a Valentines mini-project and she was sticking foam shapes into a heart-shaped piece. No "misunderstanding" of the word this time.
