#46: Which French Word Means “Aww”?
The ability to learn a new language is remarkable at any age.

There may be good reasons why the narrator doesn’t want their father to know. Perhaps they enjoy being taken by surprise. Perhaps their father enjoys surprising his kids. This can be a genetic trait, and they are both affected. Whatever the case may be, I’d love to have a glimpse of their father’s expression when his children suddenly begin speaking French like natives.
