I think I was a lot more monolingual than I was perceptive. At least I was other-language *aware*: I knew that my father only began to learn English when he started school, and I'm afraid I pestered him for Slovenian he could remember almost none of.
ETA: I wonder, though, why my wrong-grounds question doesn't apparently typically occur to my fellow-monolinguals.
ETA2: Thinking about my childhood and languages I now realize for the first time how much I hungered to learn at least one more language I was as quite young person in Southern Illinois. Huh.
