Good luck for not breaking your resolutions. When I was kid my resolution was always to score more than my friends.

It looks like Michael heard your wish loud and clear and he will take your wish as his command.

My resolution is stick to a more healthy and active lifestyle...more sweat and less calories]]> Amilie you inherited your Godfather’s writing skills. Keep it up sweetie. Isn’t it a bit over written for an 11 yr old….(just thinking loudly) lol

Pleased to meet you.

Actually, what happens is that things happen to me, so, when he lets me write, he asks me what I want to talk about then he writes in in english because I’m French (although I do speak english a little too).

So he writes well? I should hope so given all the practice he gets. He likes only two things. Writing his articles and stuff, and writing his songs. Oh, and he likes me too, of course, or I mean he’s better.....

Did you play in defense? I don’t know how I can score more than my friends because I play centre defense.

I hope he listens to me. I know how to get him to do what I want by being nice, of course, but this is the first time I’ve tried being firm with him.....

Did you mean more ”sweets” or more ”sweat”? I’m only asking because I don’t know what ”sweat” is....

Bye!!]]> Hello Maya,

Happy New Year to you too..
Take it easy on Michael, he can’t help it and it is very very very difficult to quit smoking.

Here’s a tip that could help, let’s see, in one pack, there’s usually 20 cigarettes, every week, you and Michael can agree to throw away two. This way, he can gradually decrease his smoking and nicotine intake, and it won’t be so hard. But it must be a promise.

Good luck sweet Amélie, and take care of Michael, I care a lot for him.:)]]> Hey you...

Are you the Sarah Michael told me about? The one who spends lots of time in hairdressers’? Whatever, your hair looks very nice.....

Thank you for the tip!! I’ll try it.

The problem is that Michael rolls his own cigarettes, so I’ll have to work out how many can be rolled from one pack, and, by checking how often he buys tobacco, I’ll be able to work out if, and how much, he slows down.

Phew, that’s hard work, but it’s worth it......

I learned about Egypt last year. They have nice pyramids there, very big and impressive. I said to my teacher that I’d like to live in one, but he answered that they are not built for people to live in......

Bye!]]> Hello Sarah!!

Anyway Egypt is brilliant and I promise to show you an excellent time when you come. Convince Michael (he’s been wanting to come for a while now) and hop on a plane! I’ll take you to the pyramids and you can go inside one, then you’ll see for yourself that you really wouldn’t want to live in one!:)

Let me know how it goes with the smoking, Michael has my email so we can keep in touch!

See Ya!]]> Haha, I might be that Sarah, but don’t believe him I don’t spend THAT much time at the hairdressers!

It’s very nice to see you again. You came to talk the last time I was here. You are very nice.

Actually, if I may say so, it’s ME who inspired this. After all, it’s things I do and say....

Michael just writes what I ask him to.
He’s a translator after all. It’s part of his job. He gets paid for it.

(Although I DON’T have to pay! He he!)

You are quite right about the madness!!

I read his last post, and all I can say is that if I was Presidentess or-whatever-they-call-it of the World, I would stop all that nonsense straight away!

What is WRONG with adults?

Grown-ups don’t seem to realise how silly they are sometimes. I mean it’s so SIMPLE. (Euuuh isn’t it?)

Do they have Fraise Tagada in Jordan, by any chance?]]> Oh hello Wa’d!!

I like your name, it reminds me very much of my abuela’s (grandmother’s) name, Amelia. Perhaps it is the same name.

I very much agree with your words. Smoking is BAD..My daughter Isa is ”forcing” a promise out of me for the new year to at least cut down. I have wanted to for some time, I guess there is no time like th present.

As for the craziness in this world, again you are correct..and highly insightful–The world would be a beautiful place if it were run by girls (and boys) like you and Isa..

Somehow many adults get mixed up, confused with age..Somehow adults tend to let so-called logic or facts try to replace the truths that live in the heart.

Girls and boys see no colors, religions are all okay, people are good or bad, and they (kids) can sense the good from the bad immideatly ....

I hope you have a wonderful new year. Good luck in basketball. Take Care.]]> Amélie,

It’s nice to see you again. I wish Isa lived near me. I live in a house in the country. It’s nice, but I don’t see my friends as much as I want to. That’s why I msn a lot I guess. Maybe she could come over? We have lots of space AND a garden as big as a field!! She’d enjoy it, honest she would...and so would I...

_____________

So YOU smoke TOO!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Yeah well, you better just get back up the page and re-read Uncle Sam!! Honestly!!! What IS it about you grown-ups smoking!!

I don’t want you to smoke either Oscar, please. I want to write to you as long as possible too.......

Yes it is strange, all this craziness stuff. I mean us kids DO squabble over stuff, sure, but we squabble over really complicated and important stuff like Madonna or Britney or Brad or Matt, but adults get so ANGRY about stuff that’s so simple and obvious!!

I mean, racism IS simple. I got 20/20 in my racism test. Not difficult because all you have to do is tick one of two boxes. ”Is racism good (box 1) or bad (box 2).

As you say, even a CHILD knows that one!!

I think that we have a good expression in french for all that.

It goes

”Pourquoi faire simple quand tu peux faire compliqué?”

It’s an ironic (whatever that means. That’s what Michael said it was) expression that means

”Why do things simply when you can make them complicated ?”

If THAT’S being big, well, I wanna stay small thank you very much.

(AND, that means that Michael can still carry me on his back when I get tired of walking whilst dragging him round the shops!!)

Bye Bye Oscar, and hello to Isa!!!!]]> Hello Oscar!!

Isa feels the same way. We moved to a more rural area when she was only two. She loves nature, but sometimes would like to live in colony (colonia in spanish is a kind of like a subdivision or a community of houses) like many of her friends and cousins.

I like your quote very much. As adults we always tend to overthink and many times just forget the basics. Maybe it should be mandatory for all adults to return to elementary school...:) My wife is an elementary teacher. It doesn’t pay alot of money, but she wouldn’t give it up for the world. She says it allows her 8 hours a day away from the ugliness of the world.

Speaking of school here is one of my favorite quotes which makes reference to ones learning and education:

”It is possible to store in the mind MILLIONS of facts and still be completely uneducated.”]]> Amélie,

Maybe I’ll just never be able to have millions of facts. I hope that will be all right....

All children like nature I think. Except when it’s cold and I have to go skiing. I like snow, but not when I fall down every few feet in it, as I did last week.
