Brilliant!

We have the smartest kid in the world!

OK – I’m sure every parent thinks that once in a while. Today, Drew did something that completely astonished me. He was on the playground playing on the slide and a Bulgarian boy, about 6 or 7 years old, cam up to Drew and said “Kak ce kasvash?” Drew then patted himself on the chest and said “Ondrew.”

I couldn’t believe it. “Kak ce kasvash” means “What is your name” in Bulgarian. We have never said that to Drew. We do tell Bulgarians who ask us what is name it, that his name is Andrew. We tell them Andrew, because that is a common name here, not Drew. (“drew” means “another” in Bulgarian and we just got weird looks when we told them that was his name.)

So without any coaching from us (there or anywhere) Drew understood a question asked to him in Bulgarian and gave the correct response. I am not sure I can even do that. (most the time I cannot!)

So this is just my moment of gloating… please indulge me.
