You are the day with the sunshine and the rain. You are the night with the stars and the moon and the shadows. Everybody wants you, everybody needs you. No one can exist without you. The rich man wants you. The poor man needs you. But no one can take you. You are a baby’s crying and a View Post
I know that raising bilingual kids is fun, because I did it – with raging success! I was that child that grew up bilingual!
