Semaka Sandwich

I am amazed every day at my children's education in and outside the home. Tonight, the kids and I were having tuna fish sandwiches. I asked them, "Do you want tuna fish?" and everything afterward was called tuna fish. So, I was quite surprised when while we were eating, Austin turns to me and says "Mommy, I'm eating a semeka sandwich!" Semaka means fish in Arabic. I told him that he was right and that he was so smart. There is no telling how many Arabic words are lingering in his head but it makes me so proud to hear them using the language.
