Spanish 101: MEATBALL

So my nephew Braden says the funniest things sometimes. This week, he has been saying things like meatball. Now that may not sound very funny to you, but let me add the context. Jarem was playing in his exersaucer while Braden and Emma were playing in the backyard. Bradley was working on their new salsa garden in the yard, too. Bradley overheard Braden saying, "Hi Meatball!" Braden repeated this quite a few times so of course, Emma started saying it too. Curiosity finally got to Bradley so he decided to ask Braden what he was saying. Braden again repeated, "Hi Meatball!" When Bradley asked Braden why he was saying that, Braden quickly replied with the cutest look on his face. (Braden makes this side smirk with eyebrows raised look when he's trying to explain things to you.) So with that face on, he told Bradley, "Daddy, that's how you say Jarem in Spanish." LOL!!! Love it! Meatball is Jarem in Spanish. Who knew?!? Kids really do say the darndest things. In any case, Jarem's new nickname is meatball. Not because his belly is round and looks like a meatball, but because that's how you say his name in Spanish. Duh! hehe I love my meatball. (And my adorable nephew.)"
