So I’m pondering whether my daughter should bother taking
Chinese class again next year, knowing that none of her family speaks Chinese
and the middle school she will likely be going to in a few years currently has
no Chinese program.
And I’m telling this to my mom, who tells me an amazing little
story.
My grandma is almost 92 years old and frankly, not doing so
hot. Down to 50% kidney function, lungs filling with fluid, internal bleeding
of some sort, has no idea what you just told her two minutes ago. But guess
what? She remembers the Polish she learned in her youth well enough to freaking
translate for her roommate (who can only speak Polish since her
stroke).
Awesome.
