I don't know how many, what their names will be, or if I prefer to have (not that it's my choice) a boy, a girl, two boys, two girls, etc. But a friend of mine said something to me that made me think: if you don't have kids, as hard as it will be, will you regret not having had that experience?Bagoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105985174010639248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-45447343314986867812009-01-16T10:38:00.000-08:002009-01-16T10:38:00.000-08:00Well, I feel better about knowing that someday I W...Well, I feel better about knowing that someday I WILL be a grandma--- if you don't change your mind!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16756727307097689008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-78247831342855933992009-01-13T08:56:00.000-08:002009-01-13T08:56:00.000-08:00Now, do I get a cookie?Now, do I get a cookie?Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342882448050729541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-78340312202558672502009-01-13T08:44:00.000-08:002009-01-13T08:44:00.000-08:00I read the whole thing!I read the whole thing!Arihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342882448050729541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-90307326873063021992008-12-07T19:30:00.000-08:002008-12-07T19:30:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Zajnóstikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753579838162526311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-39837573658506571272008-11-29T18:58:00.000-08:002008-11-29T18:58:00.000-08:00We missed you at our Thanksgiving Ali, but I'm gla...We missed you at our Thanksgiving Ali, but I'm glad you have found people to love for the holidays!

Peruvians don't do sarcasm.<BR/>I was walking with my girlfriend on Davie Street (Vancouver, BC) and there was a horrible backpack advertising on one of the bus stops. Beth said "Leo, you should get one of those backpacks", and I replied back "why? - I got two already!" She wanted me to say something like "Beth, these are the ugliest backpacks I've seen in my whole life. I wouldn't accept them even as a gift, even with money stuffed within them! (laugh)"... but no. Somehow I discouraged her sarcasm.<BR/><BR/>Yes. Latin American laugh at less elaborate, more simple things. The closest to sarcasm is probably playing a lot with the words and/or methaphors; for sure "white as a ghost" can trigger peruvian humor. We got hundreds of that, but still, it's too difficult to translate them to any other language.<BR/><BR/>Take care / Leo.Leonardo Gomez Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818955766016125521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884920638778051797.post-84173236300796159422008-10-02T22:42:00.000-07:002008-10-02T22:42:00.000-07:00YAY, ALI!!!
