Comments on: “Carry You, Please” http://regex.info/blog/2005-08-11/53 Not a photo blog, but sometimes I play one on TV Fri, 29 Aug 2008 04:08:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.12-alpha by: Benoit Lacherez http://regex.info/blog/2005-08-11/53#comment-40 Thu, 11 Aug 2005 22:39:24 +0000 http://regex.info/blog/2005-08-11/53#comment-40 Hi Jeffrey, I often read your blog and with great pleasure each time! I have a son who is one year younger than Anthony (he's born on October 29th 2003), called Siméon. I must tell I often wonder about his ability to understand things: I can't figure out how he learnt some common things like 'I'm cold' or 'My leg hurts', since we couldn't *explain* that to him. So I guess there's some kind of very clever part in children's mind that allows them to learn language automagically... Anthony will probably say 'carry me' someday without any reason for this change... automagically! Hi Jeffrey,

Basically she wanted to feed me and I would refuse to eat and that was her way to get me motivated and for some weird reason, I was excited to see the sparrows outside my house . Eventually when I got hungry, apparently I just used to say "I want to see the sparrows" :) When I was a kid, my mother used to say “Come, I will show you some sparrows”.
