Mostly we just record short (lousy) video on our digital camera now. Yes, we haven’t actually used ours to record anything remotely interesting in over a year, and probably 3 years before then.

It is never available when I could really use it to record that spontaneous bit of humor from our children; and when we do use it, it is usually to record something totally boring and pointless like a family reunion, or the kids opening presents on Christmas day.

Well, she sort of got it wrong, and kept asking my wife if it was nice to "knock people up". Uh, not generally.... Our 2-year old had similar trouble with "tear people down" - she kept saying "tear people up" instead. Her glee when we laughed meant that we heard the phrase the rest of the night, with a lovely up-beat accentuation at the end each time. Wish I had the camcorder ready...

Pretty clever stuff. I have a friend who learned English in China, where they teach British English. And Britons apparently call erasers rubbers. Imagine the hilarity when she asked for an eraser for the first time in an American high school... Heh heh. Pretty clever stuff.
