They have chupa chups here. this is momentous.
Quotable quote from a couple of days ago, when we were going over the definition of the word treat (as in chocolate and gifts from friends): we'd gotten as far as treatment and treat in the doctor's sense, when one kid asks, "So would it be a treat if I punched him in the face?"
and secondly, I was brought to a house with an aviary, even a peacock, and my host mom asked what the turkeys were called in english. my host brother answered, with a wry smile, "thanksgiving".
In other news, I was talking with this polish-american 8 year old, about random 8 year old things, and I mentioned astrology and he (who had complained about going to a catholic school instead of a public school) jumped on it. Astrology is sinful, he told me flat out straight. and what about the Quebec church with the astrological signs on the floor? They're sinning, he pronounced.
ok doke. he's an aquarius though, which helps explain it....;)
