If you read this you're tagged, but again, only if you want to.
Wow- 12 kids?!?!? Were you the only nanny? That's amazing. Were Russia Estonia and Latvia from your mission? So do you speak Russian?
ReplyDeleteHmmm I am going to need to think about this one. Looks like I will be posting every day this week! :)
ReplyDeleteI really only cared for the Russian kids ages 2-11 and the youngest of the biological children. She was 8. The rest of the kids were teenagers. They only did things like beg me take them to Lagoon, mess up the kitchen, and call late at night for rides home. I watched them for two summers and on weekends. This really could be an entire blog post. The stories to tell. Yes, Russia, Estonia, and Latvia were from my mission. I used to speak Russian but I've lost a lot of it. Really, where do you practice it? The only time I hear it is during action movies with Russian villains and when I shop at the scary Smiths near my house.
ReplyDeleteI got kicked out of obedience classes with my dog too. Actually, we dropped out before they asked us to leave. She was so naughty. Kept nipping and barking at other dogs. So embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for your translating, I wouldn't have known what was going on in Indiana Jones! Nyit! (That means no)
