Q&A from Aunt Betty

Aunt Betty asked Mark several questions in a comment to our 21 January 2009 posting. Here are Mark's answers.

--Matt

* Have you made new friends?

Yes. I have eight new friends. Their names are Eva, Julian, John, Simone, and I don’t know the names of my other friends. I used to know their names on the first day of school, but I forgot them.

 * What do South African kids like to play?

They like to play a game with a ribbon and you try to get to the other side without being tagged, but I don’t know what the name of the game is.

* Have you seen different animals and birds?

I have seen a lot of new birds. There’s a bird with a long beak and big, dark circles around their eyes. It looks like a half-bird, half-zombie.

Do you like the food?

I don’t know. I haven’t tried a lot of their food. I like their juice, their Rice Krispies, their Corn Flakes, their onion rings, their hamburgers, and their French fries (which they call chips here).

* Does your dad like Tosca?

Yes he does. He likes him more than Sam!
