This reminds me of a story of one of my dearest friends. She's Irish, and has a great story about a 4 letter word that is very common in Ireland, but is, well, FROWNED UPON here.
Also, she takes her 5 year old twins home to Ireland at least once a year, and cringes at what they come home saying!

Almost beat him....
about the person behind Ellie in the picture.
I've improved, but I think I might avoid WDW mini-golf shame.
Now I explained that one was for her and one to give away, she replies that she wants to keep them both
Again I explain, now she is an incredibly bright girl, top set for everything at school so what was so hard to understand? I went on about how standing right next to her ie Jess was someone she could share with. NO. OK Ellie you have to give one away and if not your sister then lets find someone else, eventually, literally it took about 5 minutes, she decided to let Jess have the other one, phew!!!
David, Jess and I had the dole float and Ellie had a coke one. I did enjoy this, the pineapple juice was delicious but Im afraid it wasnt as yummy as Id expected!
