No idea if that's really what he said or it's only what I heard or, either way, what it means. <br /><br />Once during a sermon at church I heard the preacher say "children of leprechauns" which flummoxed me until on the way home I asked my man what that meant and he told me the preacher said "children of leper colonies."<br /><br />Oh.<br /><br />I didn't know leper colonies had children but I can see it more than I can see leprechauns having them.<br /><br />But if they did, they'd be born buck naked.<br /><br />As you were.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944766018173436353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2286321024842109960.post-48518900809641472742010-06-29T10:04:35.516-04:002010-06-29T10:04:35.516-04:00I DO know you from Adam - sort of!

Failing that, if you buy me a return air ticket to Atlanta I will fly over to give you expert coaching from the cradle of English - England itself. I will sleep in the spare room. Breakfast will be homemade pancakes with maple syrup and bacon, prepared by Mrs Brague and for dinner I will require rib-eyed steak barbecued by yourself while I lounge in the pool.
