Poonerism (poon'erh'iz'm) noun 1. an adorable action or phrase done by Poon, usually as a result of being bilingual.
Sometimes, when Poon says something that is just totally adorable, I jot it down in my phone quickly. For whatever reason, the first time I did this, I labeled the note "Poonerisms". When he doesn't know how to express a certain word in English he will often just insert a word he does know, and usually ends up saying very expressive metaphors by accident. Sometimes I correct his English, but other times I can't help but just enjoy the cute little things he says. I know one day he will be more fluent and will not make these cute mistakes, so I tend to treasure them.
Tonight he made me laugh again when he proclaimed his love for my country, which he has never actually visited. It was just too cute.
Poon: What are you doing?
Chrissy: Watching a video before I start reading.
Poon: You will not watch football with me?
Chrissy: No, I will start to read for my class soon.
Poon: But it's Thailand game. It's my country. You don't love my country? I love your country...
Chrissy: I do love your country, but you don't love my country.
Poon: Yes I do.
Chrissy: But you've never even been to my country...
Poon: That is my dream, you know. I will go to jump on your country *jumps into the bedroom* and see how is it.
