Bob bob's father didn't want him to learn Greek b/c in the 70s he thought it might adversely affect his integration into US culture. Now my in-laws use it (or Italian) against us both.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Because books.
Are there any kids left with traditional values who just smoke good old-fashioned joints in the bathroom during study hall?
In ninth grade we smuggled in vodka to drink at lunch the day we had rolling skating in gym!
Good times.

My father's family mostly spoke Russian amongst themselves. He didn't speak it to us at home or try to teach it to us at all, but he'd mostly talk to his mother and brother in Russian because they were more comfortable in it. I never picked up any, I don't think my sister did, my brother took Russian in school and speaks it with a Southern drawl. My mom took some Russian in college and can understand it pretty well, and, you know, as far as I was concerned it was just a little easier to tune out than adults talking about stuff I wasn't interested in in English, so it never seemed rude.

I sometimes wish members of my family spoke a language I didn't understand.

My redundancy is a sign of my extreme exhaustion (or at least it is this time). Sorry.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm imagining this, and it's making me happy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Cracks me up when MK goes an instigates a wrestling bout with Loki. He's 16, he tires of it easily, gets knocked sideways with a simple stroke, but it reassures me he's doing OK. Old and wobbly, but OK.
God, I don't have much time left with him.
