We have a cherry tree in our yard which the hubby gave me the day we took K home as a gift for a slew of events: K's birth, X's birth, 10 year anniversary and our new home. It's an important tree.
Today we were checking out its spring return and X saw the picture of the cherries on the tag.
--What are inside those church berries?
--There are seeds inside the cherries.
We tried hard to contain our gleeful enjoyment of the Swenglish name for the fruit. Church berries. Might have to become the family word. We already have adopted Cruzzle Puzzle for crossword puzzle.
X also has a hard time with new names he's never heard. We sent him over the compost pile to the neighbor's to play. The younger's name is Ludvig. X is still calling him Luddig. That means lint-y in Swedish.
