One of the many good things about having Art living with us is that he is constantly teaching us more words and phrases in the language here. 
One night in particular he was helping us with anatomy vocab...so I quickly grabbed some paper and a pencil and drew it all out so that I could reference and memorize later. Z doesn't do this however...he soaks in new words like a sponge. The only thing that is soaking into my brain lately is this memory blocking fog that I have recently contracted from pregnancy.
...anyways, back to the language lesson...so as you can see from my diagrams we were learning tons of important words and learning that they have words for things that we do not; i.e. there is a specific word for behind the ear, and the little thing that dangles in your throat...actually now that I think about it we may have a word for that dangly thing but the fog is encompassing my brain as we speak.
From the entire lesson Z had one take away...one word that is now his all time favorite...it is the word for boogers and it is literally translated 'nose mice'. When Art taught us this word Z started giggling during the language lesson...and then Z started to act out picking his nose and said 'look Art I'm hunting for mice'. Which then made Art laugh hysterically...I then quickly realized that I am surrounded by boys all day everyday - the impromptu lesson was over, I got up from the table and left them to their boyish ways. I really want a baby girl now.
