Kenny's learned how to greet people in Chinese.

He's had so many people greeting him and expecting a response that he's come to learn how to say "hello". He's only done it a few times, but he knows when and how. He picks things up so quickly!

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, delve deep into the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In work, be competent. In action, be careful of your timing.

—Lao Tsu
