Love You Long Time

So Brooke is taking this folklore class and its about like the study of people's culture, music, clothing, art and little traditions they do. Anyway she had to do an interview and she asked about something in my life that I had heard or said that was a tradition or custom. Kind of hard to explain. So I told her about our language that we have. You know how we say things and no one seems to understand or everyone takes literally. Well this is the report that she wrote from it. I was just laughing so hard I don't even get it. I though it would be fun for everyone to have so we can remember it when we are old!
