Sumahi at Pagat

I Tano' i Manmachalek Siha

Sumahi enjoys it when I read to her the book Where the Wild Things Are.

I read it to her in Chamorro and add my own commentary. At first she hated it when I would speak in Chamorro while reading it, because she knew that since it was a book it was statistically more likely to be in the English language. But now she's gotten used to it and she talks along with me as I read.

She likes to comment on the feet of the wild things. She says, "atan este na machalek na bikilo'. Ti patas bikilo' gui', patas nganga!."
