Really, though, why stop there? Why not go all the way, and raise them trilingual - Klingon, Esperanto, and Quenya? That would guarantee them a hellish school life , na?mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042500344000182850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8347887878671609057.post-6162927255437424662007-09-08T18:28:00.000-07:002007-09-08T18:28:00.000-07:00Stuart.
