Happy birthday to me, I know Mandarin now

I turned 21 and my brain power instantly increased. Today's 官话 exercises were trivial. "See Spot Run" trivial. There's a joke here about neural development, but from what I understand development moves forward from the amygdala. A fully formed prefrontal cortex is more likely to support pragmatic language processing, not accelerate acquisition.

Interesting.

I guess I'll move on to 吴语.

Well, now it's in my calendar, so I shouldn't forget next year.

That said, maybe I could treat you to some sushi?

This is very acceptable.

Thought it might be. We can bring back a little bit of sashimi for the kittens, because everyone deserves a bit of birthday cake. Or birthday fish.
