bonding with my papa faatai over an orange

both my grammy and my daddy's parents from northern cali speak to me only in samoan. i guess the good thing about this moment, is that i understood? my parents wonder if i'm absorbing any of my grammy's aoga samoa during the week and maybe this convinced them that i at least learned a little? anyway, my mommy caught these pics of my first bonding moment with my papa faatai. thx mom!
