 CS> Try a flock of kids, not all of whom speak english, not all of whom
 CS> speak Japanese (I live in Japan) but which may require translation
 CS> from 3 sets of the flock to get the gist of the one kid!  YIKES! 

There appears to be a common kids language that doesn't depend 
on any particular language!   

 CS> Got a fun set just now.  One speaks Wiki Wiki (a philipenne language)
 CS> and Tagalog (same).  Another speaks Tagalog and Japanese, who
 CS> translates to one who does Japanese and english.  The first kid barely
 CS> does Tagalog and the second barely does Japanese but what they heck. 
 CS> It works. 

See above!  I think the problems come in when they get older and 
forget what they could do at a younger age.  

 CS> I call it a flock because they usually arrive in groups of 6 or 7,
 CS> just at that middling time between meals, nosh on whatever I have
 CS> available, and grab Charlotte off for the rest of the romp among the
 CS> neighbors in our tower apartment. 

I think you mean "murder", as in 'a murder of crows'!   

 CS> crockpot and the parents do not mind as it's known to be healthy
 CS> stuff, not junk food. (I've actually had a few come by to check
 CS> because Asians just do that). 

More parents need to be involved in what their kids do.  

I'll try to cross-post this into DADS, just because!
