Do you speak my language?

I have often been surprised and amazed my Tori's understanding of human nature. She seems to intuitively understand things that even I struggle to understand.

For instance, one day a couple of weeks ago, Tim and I were not meeting eye-to-eye on some subject. I can't even remember what it was, but I remember that we both seemed to be missing the point of whatever the topic was. We were joking about it, when Tori (who had apparently been listening the entire time) contributes to the conversation with:

"Dad, I don't think you know how to speak Girl."

And the proverbial nail was hit on the head! We had a good laugh about it. Yet behind the humor, I am amazed how a 5-year-old girl can understand so well that sometimes the problem between boys and girls is simply that we don't speak the same language. What a girl!
