Merong true story about this twins (a boy and a girl) who were born from Caucasian parents in North Carolina in the states back in the 80s. Ever since their twin children started to talk, the parents were having a hard time teaching them English. Most of the time, the twins were talking incomprehensible words, almost like baby talk. This worried the parents fearing their twins were retarded or hard of learning. However, a psychologist who examined the twins found them to be normal children with normal IQ - except that they were still baby-talking now that they're already 6 yrs old. Although the kids were baby-talking, the parents were amazed that the kids somehow understand each other. The boy would laugh when his sister seemed to be telling a story using incomprehensible words. Their parents were simply dumbfounded.
One day, the family went to visit a Museum in New York as part of a holiday trip. While they were touring the museum, a curator was fondly watching the two kids talking and playing and asked their parents if they were Israelis.
"No. We're pure Americans.", said the mother.
"Is that so?", said the curator in amazement.
"Why did u ask?", the mother said.
"Well, your children are speaking fluent Aramaic!"
"What's Aramaic?"
"It's an almost extinct language today. But it was a widely used language during the time of Jesus Christ."
The mother was shocked speechless as she turned to look at her children who were talking to each other while playing on the floor.
