APPEALS TO: SOME

The little girl loves spendin gtime with her Babajoon and Mamanjoon each summer.  This is the first summer she sees an unfamiliar coin in his pocket, though, and hears him speak a language she doesn’t understand.  Is her Babajoon a pirate? 

While the relationship between Miriam and her babajoon is very sweet, I have a hard time believing that she has never heard him speak Farsi before that day. She must be very young, though that is not specified.
