5.) Your children are so beautiful! (I would omit for modesty, but it happens too frequently)
4.) What nationality are you (Marcie)?

When John was in China last summer with the band and choir, the choir director, who is a very large, blond man, had many requests from people wanting their picture taken with him. Sometimes, they didn't even ask. They also had a tendancy to rub his belly and make comments about Buddha.
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen how many people asked to take pictures of my sisters.( since they were blond and twins.) And even when we said no they still took pictures. We actually started joking about making them pay 5 yuan per picture.( And it probably would have worked!)
