This is How I Talk

As I was walking through the Chipmunk Room I heard the following conversation between two three year old boys.

“Un, deux, trios, quatre, cinq. That’s how I talk.”

“Well I talk like this. Uno, dos, tres.”

This was a thoughtful exchange of ideas. There was no judgment involved . . . no words about which was the right way to talk.

One of our goals at CPSC is to give children a community to grow up in that is very diverse where they can learn that there are lots of different legitimate ways of speaking and ways of doing things. These two very young children got the message.
