Oh sweet innocent wonders

Zanzi is talking about which children at school go to the speech therapist.
Zanzi:  Aish goes too but I can understand her (She was telling us about someone she couldn't understand).
Mama:  Well, maybe Aish goes because she speaks a different language at home.  She might not speak English with her parents.  You could ask her sometime if she speaks English or Hindu with her parents.
Zanzi:  Yeah, I'll ask her if she speaks regly (regular) language at home.
Mama: Well, ask her instead if she speaks English because her language to her is regular.  Regular for her is whatever language she grew up speaking.
Zanzi:  Does she cry regly at home?
Mama:  Everyone cries the same, no matter what language you speak.
