Look Who Understands English

So, here is something new and intriguing. Today, my son says to me in half Japanese half English in the hallway, "Are we taking Fig to the park?" because I had set her tethers out in the hall. Fig had not seen the tethers, and they make no noise like a dog's leash might; she had only heard what my son said, and she started jumping up and down excitedly immediately in the manner that she does when she has seen her tethers. She only does that behavior if she sees her tethers.

Apparently, she has figured out what "Fig" and "park" mean.
