Listening to Alice recently has been akin to hearing a foreign student gain proficiency in english as a second language. She is piecing together more complicated sentence structures, sometimes with a pause to consider the end and unfortunately, there are far fewer cute sayings as a result - "lots of peoples"; "ready or not, here comes me" are things of the past, for example.
This evening, arriving home very late, she gave this (accurate and without pause) account of Nanna and her journey:
"The train broke down!
We had to get off at Edgcliff!
We had to walk!
We had an adventure!"
Looking forward to ablative absolutes next week.
