Graziella learns a new language. It sounds so bizarre to Wimzie that she begins to worry that her mother is going to change too much and become strange to her. The grown-ups therefore try to show Wimzie and the other reluctant children that the food, clothing, and customs of other cultures are marvelous and interesting things to discover.
1995
Wimzie is feeling a little needy one morning and asks her parents to help her do little things like tie her shoes and pour a glass of milk. Rousso and Graziella are busy with Bo and remind Wimzie that she's a big girl and can do these things for herself. Wimzie then sees how Bo is catered to, and thinks that babies have it made. She kind of wishes she was a baby so she could benefit from the same treatment. At nap time she dreams she's turned into a baby. The experience, even in a dream, turns out to be not as great as she thought and when she wakes up, she has a new appreciation of what Bo goes through. She also realizes that she's pretty happy being the age she is.
