Why we don't say POOPIE at the table.

(At a meal time)
Léo: " Mom? I need to go POOPIEEE!"
Mom: " Okay, go. Next time, just say you need to go to the bathroom instead."
Léo: "Okay."

(Léo returns to the table)
Léo: " Oh. I know WHY you said I should just say I need to go to the bathroom instead of POOPIEEE. "
Mom: ?
Léo: " Because you never know what comes out until it actually happens!!! "
Mom: ?!

Merry Christmas from Madagascar

It's the white snow, crisp cold air and Christmas lights decorating December back home, and it is blooming Flamboyant trees and juicy ripe litchis under sizzling hot summer heat in Madagascar. We think of you, and wish you a very happy holidays. - Ami and Simon Mark
