What did you just sing?

The other day, while driving home from the learning center, Brienzi leaned over and asked, "Dad, what does "crazy" mean in Indonesian?"

I thought maybe she had learned it earlier in the day in her Indonesian class. So I tried to jog her memory with a few hints, but she just couldn't remember.

"Okay. It means "gila."

Sitting there disappointed she couldn't remember it, the next thing I heard was Brienzi and Aidan belting out,

"Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah . . . Gila Tuhan!"

My jaw dropped and I said, "Hey guys do you realize what you just said? You just said that God is crazy.

To which Brienzi replied, "Daddy! I didn't ask you what "crazy" meant in Indonesian. I said, 'Praise ye!'"

"Oh!"

And our Indonesian friend who was in the car with us certainly got a kick out of it.
