I love the Chinese language. Seriously. Can’t understand a word of it, but I do like it. Oh, wait– I do know a little bit! We learned a few Chinese phrases when we read about Gladys Aylward, missionary to the Mandarins. I wrote about it here.

I saw this at Disgruntled Republican and almost laughed my head off. LOLOL! It’s best if you read them aloud. You’ll learn it better that way.

Hoh boy, I will NEVER finish my chores if I don’t stop laughing. I have to look for some Kah Pah Ts (car parts) for Mi Hus Bahn. :-D

And now it’s time for the inevitable Disclaimer: This post is in NO WAY meant to pick on China, the Chinese people, or the Chinese language. I have great respect for the traditional Chinese culture, and I adore the Chinese language– it’s so melodious and I love to hear it spoken. This was all a joke. If you are easily offended, please be aware that the person I pick on the most is myself!
