Ezri Speaks

In the above photo, Ezri has put on a hoodie that was hanging up on a hook in her room.

Some quotes and conversations with Ezri.

me: What was your favorite part of Spanish class?
Ezri: The game with the circles.
me: How do you play that?
Ezri: You put a mano(Spanish for hand) in a color and then a pie (Spanish for foot) and then twist.
Ahhh. . . I think Ezri just played her first game of Twister. I’ve never played in Spanish. Though I have to wonder how it went since I know Ezri does not know her derecha from her izquierda in any language.

Ezri told me about the hotel room we stayed in.
Ezri: This hotel room is really weird.
It was not. Except that Ezri has not stayed in many hotel rooms, so it was weird for her.
Ezri: It is just like sleeping outside.
Wrong again – even though she explained that the speckled ceiling was like stars and the smoke detector was the moon.

Ezri: I had a bad dream.
Me: What did you dream about?
Ezri: Giant mosquitoes. They were playing ring-around-the-rosie.
I had to agree that giant mosquitoes are definitely nightmarish.
