We were eating out at the German Restaurant.

it was really cute and the children's menu had a section of "Learn your German vocabulary".

So I start to ask her if she knows the translations.

Me:"Wie sagt man 'mom' auf Deutsch?"
Leila:"Mama!"
Me:"Wie sagt man 'dad' auf Deutsch?"
Leila:"Papa!"
Me:"Wie sagt man 'brother' auf Deutsch?"
Leila:"Bruder"
Me:"Wie sagt man 'sister' auf Deutsch?"
Leila:"Leila!"

Again the concept of "Best friend" from My Little Pony.

Of course that doesn't translate well to German. So the "best friend" is "meine beste Freundin".

So she says to me:"Papa, Du bist meine beste Freundin"!

Leila is so into My Little Pony. She loves this video about "Shining Armor", the big pony brother (my big brother best friend forever).

It's here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtO9YaKUdHc

There are so many things she takes from that video. And she transfers everything onto me. I am, in her world, her "Shining Armor", big brother best friend forever.

She always says "Papi and I share our dreams!"

Or she said in the scene, where Shining Armor goes away, "Geht der ins Buero?"

I also have to do all the things Shining Armor does in the video, like teach her to fly a kite and such.
