If I had a feesh I would keep it in a bowl in my leeving room and it would make keesy faces to everyone all day long.
I just decided to make up a short story (yes, that was a short story, with a fascinating plot) using just three of the words I found today in a chidren's Polish/English story book that had a pronunciation guide for some of the words. I changed the spelling so you would know how to pronounce things PROPERLY.

I am so glad you did this. Turns out I don't pronounce English very well at all. ;)
You have a leaving room? Do you have a coming room, too? Or is it an arriving room? Wow. I wish my house had one of those .... I think they're more commonly called "mud rooms", but I'm not sure I'd put a fish in it.
AW!!! I love the keesing part. =)
Never knew I was mispronouncing everything. Kind of reminds me of stipend. I never heard it spoken before and always thought it was pronounced more like tip rather than type.
Thank you for the prononskiation advice,
It kind of sounds like someone with a French accent!
And we did get an aquarium two weeks ago for my boys' birthdays, but I have never made keesy faces at them. Maybe I will go try right now...
Ha, Ha, Ha. Thanks for sharing that.
So is the title of your post pronounced eef? I rmember lots of people in Ukraine telling me they knew some words in English "mozer, fazer, brozer, seester." (but with really soft "r" sounds that I don't know how to write phonetically.
Well, I think I might have to pull out some of our Dr. Seuss books and read them with the correct pronunciation. You know, now that I know what it is.
Red feesh, blue feesh
Old feesh, new feesh
Oh, yeah. Definitely an improvement.
What a very eenteresting story, Lis!
Wow. So I'm guessing that they pronounce double e's the way we pronouce i's? I blame the Tower of Babble.
LOL I love it. :)
Hee hee...that gave me such a giggle. Great way to start my day!
Thank you for adding culture to my morning.
Did you just delete the smoking post? If so, I am commenting here. And this is one of those very long comments, that you like, right?
I had that same dream when I was a teenager, except it was me, and I woke up so sad and guilty and knew I had to talk to my bishop, until I woke up all the way and realized that I hadn't really done it. I also had an LDS friend who started smoking and it made me sick to my stomach and sad for a very long time. I also knew a missionary who I got in touch with later on facebook only to discover that he had a boyfriend. I try not to be judgmental, but it is so hard when you knew them as a missionary, when they were teaching other people not to make the choices that they later make. And yes, I totally don't get people supporting anyone deciding to start smoking, don't most people think it is not a good thing? If you want to delete this comment that is fine.
I thought this was going to be a quote from your kids or something at first--funny!
