My spelling skills in languages I can’t even pronounce are legendary, and it’s unfair for you to be rolling just the one good time and not sharing!

Oh, good grief! My spanish is Puerto Riqueno, my Italian is street and college, and my Latin is third year high school. For heaven’s sake, I’m not in competition w/you. I respect your erudition/erudity/whatever you call it. My honorary Auntie taught me German which served me well since I was 18 mos old. She left for NJ when I was a toddler. She was a great inspiration for me. She actually liked having me around! She was a German gymnast and was qualifying for the Olympics when she became a war bride (WWII) and came to this country w/o knowing English. She went to work as a waitress in a local restaurant. She had muscles out the wazoo and taught me to become strong by carrying 5 lbs. of potatoes every day. She was definitely my favorite role model. Everyone should be so lucky!

P.S. Have you read Jonathan Kellerman’s “Savage Spawn”? I actually knew kids like this. When people talk about the innocence of Malaria and Sashimi, I want to bring this up. I’ll go away now.
See you tomorrow unless they come for me lol!
