I ran this column in our newspapers this week. http://www.augustagazette.com/opinions/x1009559928/Kent-Bush-Communication-problems-are-frustrating
It is funny how difficult life is when a fully functioning child can’t understand a thing you say and vice versa. He tries, but Dawit still slips back and forth between the two Ethiopian dialects he was exposed to. Then he will use a little English on you just to keep you guessing.
Everyone tells you it is a quick transition. It won’t seem quick.
The failure to communicate doesn’t stop the little guy from trying. He talks all the time.
Until I learn more Amharic or he learns more English I am just going to continue talking loud and using a lot of made up sign language.
