Leila still translates a lot of things literally from English.
Birthdays are a big thing right now. She loves to pretend to have birthday parties, she can't wait for hers in the fall, and she was really excited when it was mine. She loves to sing happy birthday.
So she started saying in German"Papa, wann ist meine zum Geburtstagsparty?"
Of course! she was translating from the song "Happy Birthday to you".
In German it's "Zum Geburtsag viel Glueck".
So she thinks "Birthday" is "Zum Geburtstag" in German.
