5 year old English Speaker

 


Friday when I sat down at the bar, there was a very cute young lady sitting by me.  She was snacking, but not drinking.  I asked her name and her mom told me.  (Sorry, I dont remember her name, or the mothers.)  I do remember that she's 5 years old.  When I asked her, she made the universal fan of the hand showing me all her waving digits.  She was very shy.  Every question I asked was answered by a head shake.  Her mom told me, "she does not like to speak English because they make her use it in school."

I asked the 5 year old if I could take her picture and got a definitive NO headshake.  (mom said it was OK)  It was only when it was time for them to leave that she turned to me and gave me a big smile for a photo.  (she acknowledged me, gave me permission, and allowed me to take this.)  

I hope all the girls at YOUR bar are this cute!
