Benguyanadian

Conversation overheard in the glue household

My son: Can you count?
My daughter: yes, one, two, tree, four
My son: it's not tree it's three
My daughter: yes tree
My son: Say three
My daughter: tree
My son: Your not saying it right, say three
My daughter: tree
My son: Never mind!

Poor thing can't say three! It's the Guyanese part of her Benguyanadian heritage. I'm Bengali, my husband's Guyanese and the kids were born in Canada = Benguyanadian It amazing how many Bengali and Guyanese traits they have!
