When my daughter was home for the holidays, I learned from her that she's going to take Filipino language lessons. She's just waiting for an available schedule of her online tutor.
She's been learning so many languages--- French, Korean, Chinese and now Filipino.
She's already fluent with English and Bisaya (a Filipino dialect that we speak at home.)
I am excited for her to learn the language, and I can not wait to get a postcard from her using the language.
But you know what? Filipino is the language the mister and I use to speak when we talk about things that we don't want the children to know and understand.
Hihihihi.
Example, about family matters from his side and mine, or maybe about the gifts we needed to buy for their birthdays and for Christmas.
Well, I guess we will just shift to using the "gay lingo" I learned from my friends from college, and from my colleagues back in the Philippines. I was predominantly surrounded by truly wonderful people from the LGBTQ community.
Well, maybe create our own language if gay lingo is also something my daughter will eventually pick up in the future from us.
Hehehehe.
