Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember during my senior year of high school, our Salvadoran friend was at our house visiting, and we were talking about how my parents were helping to facilitate the adoption of a Salvadoran baby for a couple who lived in Washington state, and the baby was at our house for a couple of weeks or so while the paperwork was being finalized, and our friend was puzzled as to how the baby would be able to learn English language, because is not the Spanish language imprinted on the brain at birth, and my mother expressed the opinion of a baby being a blank slate, and that if the baby were raised speaking onliy English, it would not be able to speak Spanish, it would be like any English-speaking person in terms of English language. So that was my mother's theory about that point, and my mother is very intense on these points, but I suppose that probably has nothing to do with the price of tea in China.
