Daddo tells me that is Polish for "God Bless the Children" and I will have to take him at his word since I only know a few Polish words, and they are limited to things like curse words and telling someone to "shut it."
But perhaps my nieces and nephews believe differently of me, and I wanted to share this very short snippet of an exchange that happened when I was up in Michigan for Thanksgiving. It just gave me the biggest belly laugh and I've been telling everyone about it, so wanted to make sure I had shared it with all of the family.
When Natalie and Cole were staying over Mom's and Dad's for the nite, I had been playing with them in the t.v. room when I stood up and announced that I had to "go make use of the facilities."
Cole: "What is 'facilities'?"
Aunt Kee: "Oh, it's another word for 'bathroom.'"
Natalie (nodding with all the solemnity and confidence of a girl who KNOWS): "In Polish."
God bless the children, indeed.
