I don't know where my grandfather get that. No, we didnt keep count of the dogs we had named kyukyu. Ooops, i forgot to mention, i love your hair on that pic! :D <em>Les Says: Ewww, Maline! You have bad taste in children's hairstyles. I believe my sister "Tootie" most likely tortured me into that "do".</em> You’re right, it’s pronounced Q-Q. I don’t know where my grandfather get that.

I was told to buy bread and I was riding a bike, the paper bag with the bread fell and I had to handpick them one by one. ~LOL~ It took me 5 years before I admitted to everyone that the bread they ate that day fell into the road. Btw, I love the look on the doggie's face, it's as if he really knows something others don't. *winkz <em>Les Says: ROTFL!! That is SO much better than my story! How did you ever manage to keep your mouth shut for FIVE years?! I would have been laughing/guilty every time I saw somebody eating a sandwich. And yeah... that dog had a lot more dirt on me than "sandy hamburgers". I'm grateful she never learned to speak English.</em> haha this reminds me of almost the same experience I had when I was a kid.

Two of my sisters were draining spaghetti and dropped the whole pot into the dirty sink, scooped it back up and fed it to us kids while my folks were away. They're still laughing at least. And hey, at least your dad didn't run you over! That I know of. <em>Les Says: No... he didn't run me over. But it wasn't for lack of trying. :-D </em> That’s hilarious and completely excusable.

That was a "neat rig", that camera, as my dad would say. I remember him letting me hold the pictures to watch them develop... "UUT! Don't touch it, now!"
