Something I just can't remember

I remember things from when I was younger than 5 but some how I can't seem to remember not being able to understand English......

I don't remember what it was like not understanding what all these 'Pharang' ( a thai word for foreigners-caucasians) were talking about. Its so weird thinking about it now.....I couldn't speak English fluently until.....8 years ago ? but it feels like I've been speaking it forever.

What life must have been like then ? not knowing English like I do now?.....just doesn't feel like it was rela.

I remember how my parents used to speak in English when they didn't want me to understand what they were talking about......now they have to find a new language
