My son, the linguist

Michael brought Declan home from school yesterday afternoon.
Declan came bouncing into the kitchen and said "Maman, papa taught me a new word. It's perceive."
"That's a great word. Did daddy show you how to use it?"
"I perceive... we perceivons..."
"No," I said, "We perceive. Nous percevons. percibimos."
You know what maman, my son said, I am really starting to hate this whole language thing.
