Luka i tata se voze kolima i pricaju ...

Luka: Tata, stara skolica nije uvek bila stara, nekada je bila nova, jel tako?  
Tata: Tako je sine.  
Luka: A nova skolica nece uvek da bude nova, nego ce da bude stara - jel tako tata?  
Tata: Tako je sine.

Tata mi je rekao “ti si mnogo pametan sine”.  Ja sam mu odgovorio “znam tata, ja sam to sam naucio”.

A trip to India ... well, some other time

We were supposed to go to India - the whole family.  And then my father freaked out. He woke up in the middle of the night (that’s what he told me) with some crazy thoughts and fears and decided that I am still too young for India; My mom will go without us. Well, they didn’t tell me this (she is leaving on Sunday) but I figured it out.  So last night I asked my mom “are you going to India alone”? She looked quite surprised and said “yes; you know there are some little bugs that can bite you and dad and I are a little concerned for your health.  Mommy will go alone to check it out but I will not go to see tigers and elephants without you and then if everything is OK we will go together”.”But mom, how can Bala [he is our Indian friend] deal with them (bugs)?”.  Mom was surprised again, she was looking for words ... “well” she said “he lives in India and he is used to those little bugs ...”  “Oh, I see, OK”.

I have a good memory


Last night dad asked me: “remember when we were in Paris and we were in that cafe (boulangerie) eating baguette sandwich ...” I thought for a while and then I said “you mean when I had an orange juice made from real oranges, and when you took some veggies from my sandwich because I didn’t like them?”  My father froze.  He said “Yes, how do you remember all that? I can’t believe it. And I don’t even remember taking those veggies from your sandwich.”
