Day Sixteen: Two quotes, a link, and a strange poster
November 16, 2009
Here's a conversation that I eavesdropped on:
Leafy: "What if I cut a bear in half?"
Kid A and YaYa in unison: "That would be really terrible, Leafy!"
Leafy: "But I would clean the knife!"
Kid A: "No, not terrible for the knife. (Laughter) Terrible for the bear!"
YaYa: "A bear is an animal, Leafy!"
Kid A: "Yeah, how would you feel if someone killed you!"
YaYa: "It would hurt the bear."
Leafy: "It's a bad bear. If it tried to kill me I would cut it in half!"
YaYa: "A bear is a wild animal! We can't kill wild animals!"
Kid A: "If you kill a bear, then you should be killed." (Overkill... heh heh)
Leafy: "MAMA! Kid A SAID..." and then I stepped in.

A conversation I was a part of:
Leafy: "What's for breakfast, oatmeal or mu-sell-li?"
Me: "I just woke up, I don't know wait-and-see."
Leafy: "What? (Laughter) "Who's Andsee?"
Me: "Nooooo. Wait. And. See."
YaYa: "Yeah. And Antsy is the lady who's visiting Cate."
Me: (Laughter) "No, YaYa, that's Nancy."

Chinua put together some beautiful calendars this year, and it's not too late to get them before the New Year!
One is based on Color in India.
One is a year of India Faces.
And one is a beautiful abstract collection of photos of a carnival he happened upon, back in Canada.

And here is a photo of a very strange poster that I saw in Manali this summer.

Jedi Throat Massage AND Beef Shoes?! What a deal!
Hoping breakfast didn't involve any wild animals... :)
Those pictures are amazing!
I iz getting me some o' those darn antigravity glasses!!!
I love the kids conversations, although I totally understand what Leafy was saying, he was being a hero, and no one understood.
I like the throat massage and wondered if that was the same as strangulation. Hope your weather has calmed down. We have the wild winds and rain now, pineapple express!
Love you,
That poster is weird! Don't quite get it. ha, ha. Your conversations were delightful. I sat here and read them out loud and we both smiled and chuckled.
