Tom and Jerry, erhhh, Julio?

"You know what?" Lily offered up at dinner the other night, in the midst of eating an entire corn cob.

"There was a mouse at school today, and he ate corn, and he said he liked the corn in Spanish."


Peter and I looked at each other, smiles behind our own cobs. "Really? In Spanish?"


"Yes. He said..." Unintelligible noises follow.


"What was that again?"


More Lily noises...


"Sine qua non?"


Funny, they hadn't been teaching Latin in school that I knew of...


More noises...


"In-a-gadda-da-vida?"


"Couldn't be. We don'teven have any Iron Butterfly music."


More noises...


"That didn't sound like Spanish. Maybe Esperanto?"


Anyone know of any good Spanish immersion materials for preschoolers? Or an exterminator? Reminds me, I need to notify the daycare about their rat infestation.
