this is supposed to be a "fun" question i dont expect you to give me a scientific answer..... i always hear studies about how potentially smart children are. if taught, they can learn many languages, pick up new words, concepts, etc. thats all great, its true. but what i find funny is how that little johnny can be taught how to tell his parents "NO!" in 8 different languages yet it will take him 10 times as long to learn that he should listen to his parents and not tell them no when they tell him to do something. i don't have kids but i find it so funny how my nephew is 4 1/2 and is fluent in english, french, and spanish that we speak but we have been telling him "don't touch , leave it alone, say sorry, be quiet, finish you veggies, pee pee in the potty, go to sleep, don't run, don't hit your sister" since he came out the womb and he still doesnt get the hint ,lol. i know there are brain specific variables and behavorial factors that play a part in this, i just find it funny..........
