Nick's Idea of Family

Nick has lived a year & a half of his short life in the Philippines, so a lot of his ideas about everything are based upon what he has observed living here. Just a moment ago, Nicholas, Sydney & I were watching a Saturday morning movie. Two kids in the movie were taking a stray dog house to house, looking for its owner. As they visited the first house, a man was outside watering the lawn:

Nick: "Is that the gardener?"
Me: "No, it's the dad."
Nick: "Where's the gardener?"
Me: "They don't have a gardener. The dad takes care of the grass."

The two kids in the movie then walked to the next house, still looking for the dog's rightful owner. A woman answered the door:

Nick: "Is that the yaya?"
Me: "No."
Nick: "Is it the mom?"
Me: "Yes."
Nick: "Where's the yaya?"
Me: "They don't have a yaya."
Nick: "Why not? Why don't they have a yaya?"

Poor guy seriously could not comprehend it. We are all going to have a big adjustment moving back to the States!
