When that happens, I'll sometimes explain it again in Chinese, to see if it makes more sense to him.

You just watch, and one of these nights,
those that talk backwards will demand their rights.
They'll rise up angry and demand a solution,
in the form of an amendment to the Constitution
that guarantees Freedom of Reverse Elocution.
And every TV show that airs,
will have to be captioned for the forward-impaired.
TALK BACKWARDS!

I thought that was the Tea Party slogan? "Take Our Country Back". How far back to they want to go, the Civil War? I prefer my country go forward.

And most important, "The Dying Cub Fan's Last Request." We played that recording at my mom's funeral dinner.
