Does anyone remember that scene in the animated version of Charlotte's Web when Wilbur finally learns how to talk to the other animals? He sings this song called "I can talk!" Well anyway, I skipped down my street singing that song the other day bc I had this conversation with my cleaning lady entirely in Thai that involved no miscommunication and I managed to convey complex (in my mind) information about where I had been and where I was going in a language that doesn't have tenses. I was so proud of myself!
" Isn't it great
That I articulate?
Isn't it grand
That you can understand?
I don't grunt, I don't oink
I don't even squeak or squawk
When I wanna say a something
I open up and talk"
