we went to aquaworld on saturday - nina loves water and she loves slides, so it was double-fun for her :)
we spent some time on the playground this morning, before it started raining (again)
on the swing, all by herself :)
.hah.
here is an article to all the sceptics who made fun of me for lamenting my favorite cup when it got shattered into pieces a few weeks ago.
.tupaka.
many have asked whether nina is speaking yet (since she will be two years old in june). well, yes and no. let me explain - i promise, i am not going to ask you to define speech or define it for you :)
she repeats a galore (one of my favorite words - thank you gaelic folks for making it part of the english language) of words, but not too many full sentences yet. she has a vocabulary of about 200 words or so, and, of course, some of them need some deciphering.
here is a short list of decipherables:
- tulipán (tulip) - tupaka
- étel (food) - nyamaka
- keksz (cakes) - kekszi
- dot néni (aunty dot) - doki
- jim bácsi (uncle jim) - jibaka
- orsi (our friend orsi) - otyi
- phil bácsi (uncle phil) - fika (also the word for booger in hungarian)
- dolgozni (to work) - dogó
- sajt (cheese) - saki
- gyümölcslé (fruit juice) - gyibike
- elmo (the furry red muppet) - ebi
stopping and smelling the tupaka :)
.amusement.
the following letter was recently sent by tesco (called fresh and easy in america) to a customer in oxford, england. enjoy :)
dear mrs. murray,
while we thank you for your valued custom and use of the tesco loyalty card, the manager of our store in banbury is considering banning you and your family from shopping with us, unless your husband stops his antics. below is a list of offences over the past few months all verified by our surveillance cameras:
- 06/15 - took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in people's trolleys when they weren't looking.
- 07/22 - set all the alarm clocks in housewares to go off at five-minute intervals.
- 07/07 - made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to feminine products aisle.
- 08/14 - moved a 'caution - wet floor' sign to a carpeted area.
- 09/15 - set up a tent in the outdoor clothing department and told shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring sausages and a gas stove.
- 09/23 - when the deputy manager asked if she could help him, he began to cry and asked, 'yhy can't you people just leave me alone?'
- 10/04 - looked right into the security camera; used it as a mirror, picked his nose, and ate it.
- 11/10 - while appearing to be choosing kitchen knives in the housewares aisle asked an assistant if he knew where the antidepressants were.
- 12/03 - darted around the store suspiciously, loudly humming the 'mission impossible' theme.
- 12/06 - in the kitchenware aisle, practised the 'madonna look' using different size funnels.
- 12/18 - hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed, yelled 'pick me! pick me!'
- 12/21 - when an announcement came over the loud speaker, assumed the foetal position and screamed 'no! no! it's those voices again.'
- 12/23 - went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited a while; then yelled, very loudly, 'there is no toilet paper in here.'
you see ladies, this is further proof that it is extremely dangerous to drag us along when going shopping :)
