Sorry MommyCakes, looks like you hitched your wagon to the wrong pony. According to New York Magazine, the set that's smarter are teaching their babies Mandarin, as in, Chinese. Yep. And tony Prep Schools are accomodating by offering chinese language Pre-School Programs. The challenge is finding a good Mandarin speaking nanny. One father "had friends test [the prospective nanny's] Mandarin to find out 'whether she speaks gutter Mandarin or a queen's Mandarin.'
I don't want my daughter to grow up and suddenly start talking like a tramp at age 9," he says. Happily, this dad "is feeling good about his investment: 'Even if my little girl weren't very smart, she's always going to get a job because she'll be totally fluent in Chinese'".
