Even The Dogs Speak Tamil

Dear Daughter,

Here is a picture of Rosie, she is the family dog here at the home that I living in. And, guess what? She speaks Tamil too! Just like Tigger understands Flemish in Hasselt, Grey Pet, Squeaky, and Tigger in Amarillo understand English, Rosie can understand Tamil. Also, she eats rice and Indian food, isn’t that funny? In Italy, the kitties eat pasta there too. So, just like us, animals can be foreigners too. When Papa was teaching about “Nouns” being a “Person, Place, or Thing” (Remember Schoolhouse Rock?) in my school, the children were very concerned that there was not a separate division for animals because they don’t think that they are just things. So, here in Madurai, a “Noun” is now a “Person, Place, or Thing, or Animal.”

I love you,

Papa
