spent much of today playing frisbee at Kew Gardens with my 9 year old cousin.

born in Germany to an English father and a Turkish/Azerbaijani mother, before moving to Georgia. moved back to Germany, and now lives in Belgium.
her grasp of so many languages at such a young age blows my mind - she is almost completely fluent in English and even understands sarcasm... I could never hope to tell a joke in German!
