While he's in the tub, he says "Tell me some facts". He's also learning to read quite well (did you know the work crustaceous in print when you were five? Not I!), so these words will be great for next bath time at my house. <br />Great to hear from you again.Hermit's Baby Sishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380383184384776952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-28231376834654792162015-10-27T02:15:51.191-05:002015-10-27T02:15:51.191-05:00This is off topic...all these years reading you, y...This is off topic...all these years reading you, you have often quoted a phrase your father said..."nothing is ever so bad, that it could not get worst".<br /><br />The other day I heard that in one of my foreign soap operas and I could not help but smile and think of your dad's quote but in Spanish :)MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-21735036774222799252015-10-27T02:10:33.919-05:002015-10-27T02:10:33.919-05:00I used to volunteer teaching English as a second l...I used to volunteer teaching English as a second language and your comment hit home.<br /><br />I felt so sorry for the those learning English as adults.
