Daniel and I were listening to Umberto Tozzi, an Italian, singing his most famous number [Gloria] in Spanish. “That’s not English,” said my son sagely. “I know what language it is, it’s Irish!”
I corrected his misapprehension. A couple of days later, Daniel asked me, “Mummy, what was that song again, the one we were singing together in Japanese?”
Daniel and I had a funny exchange the other day. He said, ‘What country do I come from again?’ I suggested Ireland, but he corrected me: he and Michael, it seems, are from Kerry.
Can you explain?
Looking forward to the holidays?
