Mama! You say you don't speak English, but Baba only speaks English and you speak to him!
That means you can speak English! I'm going to speak English at home too!
Wami tried to explain that she wanted to speak her native tongue. That didn't really work. She explained that he needed to speak Japanese if he wanted to go to Disney Tokyo. To that, he asked:
T: Why? I've already been to Disneyland!
W: Because there's one in Japan. You can even ask Rachel!
T: Why do I need Japanese?
W: Because if I have to go somewhere, then you need to be able to speak Japanese for Baba.
T: Oooh. I see. (A-so ka?)
Phew - disaster averted! And, all for the sake of dad (whom he always feels bad for because Dad can't speak Japanese)!

What a cute story! I love it. The last few times I've hung out with Taisei, he has asked me, "Do you know what [insert a japanese word here] means?" When I say, "no," he proceeds to give me a little mini-lesson. It's really cute and pretty cool. I like learning new words ...
good job! I am impressed you are able to keep him speaking Japanese!
