A refreshing view on life...

I was teaching a class yeterday and opposite me there was a native speaker teaching a young boy, who was probably about 7 or 8. Most of the lesson was conducted in Russian, with the occasional 'khello and gooodbye' but about 15 minutes in the boy turned to his teacher and asked in Russian "Do you think in English?", and his teacher replied (in Russian too) "Yes, always, and sometimes in Russian". The little boys face was priceless! You could see him trying to understand how a person could think in a language where he only knew a few words... and it reminded me of the first time I heard French people talking to each other. I remember turning to my Mum and asking how they understood each other?! Such a refreshing view on life.
