Educating Milou
Milou is a dog.
As such, he does not speak. Neither does he understand what we say.
Except for "No" and "Sit" (so far).
But my mother has high hopes.
She speaks to Milou everyday in a smatter of English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
Not just a few words but more like a long monologue.
She evens appeals to Milou's rationale.
Just now, television was on - Animal Planet. Mother played with Milou. Strange jungle sounds came from the television. Milou startled.
Mother: (in Cantonese) You see, it's a bad bad world outside. So, you must behave yourself. (in English) Good boy, no biting.
Astonishing.
