Timing is everything!
My daughter started kindergarten this year, on Mondays they have Spanish. Tuesday morning on the ride to school she kept saying
"berde, berde, berde is how you say green in s-pan-ole". No mater how many times I tried to correct her, she refused to accept the fact that the word she was looking for was "verde" and that she only needed to say it once.
SO I moved on and asked her what other words she knew - she replied with an enthusiastic "Momma-seeta!"... and it did not take very long for me to dust of a Keerock xmas song by Guster from the old digital music box in my pocket.
Her mind was blown! Good times.
