Last time we were at the beach, Emma met this cute girl from Japan. They were playing on boogie boards together for about a half an hour before I went over to talk to them. Emma told me that her new friend was 10 years old and didn't speak English. The two girls were sharing goggles, boogie boards and smiles. Emma called the girl Elizabeth, because that was as close as she could come to what her real name sounded like. It was neat to see how they could communicate even though they didn't speak the same language. When "Elizabeth" left she asked Emma if she would take a picture with her. She and her family were so nice to all of us. They kept saying "bye...See you" over and over and "Elizabeth" kept coming back to wave and say "See you" one more time to Emma. Emma was so excited use the only Japanese she knows "Kansha shimasu".

How precious. I bet neither of those girls will ever forget that.
This really isn't a comment about your post, but more about the post you haven't written yet. Where is the knock-out at Costco story? Dean about peed his pants laughing about it!
