Mike has a pen pal. I was trying to explain the concept to him.
Me: I found you a pen pal?
Mike: What’s that?
Me: A pen pal is a friend you’ve never met. You write letters to and he writes back.
Mike: Can’t I just call him?
Me: Then he wouldn’t be a pen pal. He’d be a phone pal. Don’t you want to get a letter in the mail? Won’t that be fun?
Mike: Yeah! I want mail! (this was said loudly and involved fist pumping and jumping) Who am I writing to?
Me: He’s a boy. He’s six just like you. He’ll be seven in October. and he lives in another country?
Mike: What country does he live in? Does he live in Germany? (my boy is obsessed with the Germans since he found out that they were involved in two world wars. I don’t know why he isn’t obsessed with England)
Me: No, he lives in Canada.
Mike: AWESOME! I can speak to him!
Me: Most Canadians speak English. Some speak French. Can you speak French?
Mike: No. I can speak Canadian.
Me: What should we write to him?
Mike: What do you like? eh? Do you play baseball eh?
It took lots of convincing that we didn’t need to write eh at the end at the end of every sentence.

I don’t understand why you don’t want him to practice his Canadian, eh? Take off, hoser.
HAHA that is sooo funny! That is also sooo Dave Eh? Great idea about the pen pal!
Hey. If any of the kids fancy an English pen pal then Olivia could sure do with the writing practise!!! I loved having a pen pal as a kid…..what a great idea!
Wow, you think my kids can be trilingual? They could speak English, Canadian, and whatever language it is that you guys speak over there in England? 😉
