Little show off

On a playground in Moscow talking with a boy and his Mom:
Gwen: So in what country do you like to live in and what language is your favorite?
Boy: Russia, and of course, Russian -- why? (the boys was really surprised by the question, probably doesn't get many like this one)
Gwen: Well, I am just visiting Moscow, but I live in Boston and speak both Russian and English!
Boy's Mom: How lovely! So where do you like it best in Moscow or Boston?
Gwen: To be honest, in Toronto, Canada --- there are museums, swimming pools, etc....

Today we are finally off to Moscow for our long awaited vacation and the very first visit to her mother's homeland for my daughter. Gwenchik woke up at dawn and has been asking every 10 minutes
Gwen: When are we going to go to the airport?
Me: At 1 o'clock
Gwen (9:15): Are we going soon?
Gwen (9:30): Is it time to go?
