Why is that?
Why is it that kids of dutch parents will often use a short dutch phrase (like saying 'enjoy your food' or 'thanks' in dutch), and then act like you should be impressed that they know some dutch words?
I've always wondered why that it. Maybe I just notice it now I'm married into a big dutch family. :-)

It's because they know something that you don't! Try and sound impressed when they pull out "Oma" and "Opa". Intentionally mispronounce them, so as to increase the sense of pride in this superior and intimate knowledge of the mother-tongue.
