Daddy, ukhule uze ukhokhobe!

Daddy

 

Today is Daddy’s birthday.

The title translates to “Daddy, may you live to grow so old that you walk double over your walking stick!”

Daddy was born in South Africa. He is handsome. He loves Momma. He loves God. He tells me about God. He tries to obey what God says in the Bible.

He does good at work. He works on a jet engine.

CookingHe is fun. He is A LOT of fun. He took us to the Manitou Islands. He taught me how to put up a tent and use a camp stove. We hiked, ate, and had fun!

He helps me learn things. He helped me learn to hammer. He helped me learn about jet engines. He let me help dig up the rocks in the front yard and make the swing set.

Here is different ways to say “Happy Birthday” and “I love you”. Can you guess whereLast years family picture they are from? Thank you Oma, Opa, Uncle Phil, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Uncle John, and Auntie Beulah for sending me the notes on how to say the different sayings.

The languages to chose from are two from Zulu, Afrikaans, Greek, French, Spanish, Finnish, Polish, English, German and Swedish. The first line is “Happy Birthday” and the bottom line is “I love you!” (if they are not exactly right sorry about that. Please tell me how to fix it!)

    Tell me how many I get right. I probably got half of them wrong.

  2. You have seven right. You did pretty good at guessing. I knew you would know the Spanish one; you sent the Spanish one to me! Thank you again!

    You can try again if you want to. I will tell you which ones are right if you guess again.

    Love,
    Mark
