Bilingual

One late afternoon in a supermarket with Marvin, my little nephew. "Tante Tina look! Look!" he repeatedly tugged my shirt to show me something. He couldn't stop giggling. "What?" I asked, curious. He pointed to a tag in front of some string bean packages, "That vegetable is bancis!" Giggling uncontrollably. Apparently sounding out an Indonesian word with an English pronunciation is hilarious.
