No Hablo Ingles

Today, Hayley and I walked (through the snow/cold) to Aggieville to grab lunch and do some studying in a little coffee shop. I was reading my Psychology book, a chapter on intelligence, when I got to a section about the development of language. It was explaining how young children learn how to speak the language they hear most often. Then, as a result of my boredom/sleepiness, I had a crazy idea: What if I only spoke Spanish around my children? I could raise completely white, American kids, who couldn't speak any English, only Spanish. How awesome would that be!? They could be some kind of weird, hybrid kids; it would freak everybody out. Granted, school would be a bit more of a challenge, but at least I would be amused.
