shame

my daughter puts me to shame. today my helper was teaching some phrases in our local language, not the national one. anyway, she said it once, i repeated. then we had to do it again because i couldn't get it. this went on like four times during lunch. my daughter sitting in her chair listening to us go back and forth on this says the word with no accent... perfectly says the word and smiles sheepishly as my jaw drops to the ground. my helper laughs like crazy and tells A how much smarter she is than her mommy.... we are all laughing and A says it again.... it was unbelievable. so i again put my head down in shame like the guy in Napoleon Dynamite (if you've watched it, you know what i'm talking about...).
