A little bit later, we were sitting in the covered front porch of D&D sweltering in the 100 degree heat and trying to cool off with beer. My dad and I were chatting in Bengali.
Vivian: "Excuse me daddy"
Me: "What's up?"
Vivian: "Why are you speaking in Bengali?"
Me: "Why not?"
Vivian: "You're not in India"
Me: "Should that matter?"
Vivian: "Yes - here you should speak in Spanish"
My daughter appears to have a speak-English-in-America-or-go-back-home view with a twist. Like the log-cabin variety, a Cabana Republican.....?
