My oh my, didn't know your mom spoke english ... or Ake romanian :-)
"Ciocu mic" was never your best feature! ;-) hahahaha ... but ZAP ZAP for that? and coming from your mom? Sheesh Sheesh ... I would pack my bags and move to Australia ... Thailand and Romania are too hostile and colluding against you! :-)
Say hallo to your mom. I saw how she is communicating with Ake and I would like to say she is a great woman.
I would like to see my mother talk english and google some receipies on the internet :))
Cipri, you oughta hear her...she's been taking English lessons for 2 years now..getting pretty good...surprinsingly good. Also, Ake's becoming a master of Romanian slang and sayings ("e.g Vara nu-i ca iarna!") ;))
