Interesting Inferences

A few days ago, they boys and I were playing outside. When his friends went home, we wandered up to the playground. I was watching Noah on the slide, when I noticed Harrison chatting it up with a grandpa. Harrison had noticed a stroller still at the park, and was concerned that it was the Sabey's. Sitting next to the stroller was a Chinese grandparent. There are many foreign grandparents in the Mesas who don't speak any English. So when Harrison asked him, "is that your stroller?" The man merely smiled. Harrison repeated the inquiry a few times, to which the man finally replied, "Hello". An unsatisfied Harrison responded, "no. I'm asking you about the stroller." I realized what was happening, and told Harrison to come over. I explained that the man only spoke Chinese. After a quick review of languages (we speak English. Sometimes mommy talks to you in French. I sometimes talk to you in Thai or Spanish.) Harrison thought about this and had the penetrating question, "I wonder what 'Hello' means in Chinese."
