A Random Thought


First off, it will be a surprise to no one that I (the "adult male"), am the one posting this. You do not have to be able to read Russian to get the name of this shopping mall. We explained to our friend, Oleg Vasilevsky, what this word means in America and he said "No wonder Americans laugh when I tell them to meet me at Komod." I told Chris what this means at home and he loved it. Yes, it is round on the inside. There are many stores and a grocery store at the very bottom.

I will open up this post for all of your jokes. Please share them. Here are a few that come to mind:

- Gee, the crap they have here is expensive.

- It is the ONLY public one in Ukraine where they do not charge you to come inside.

- We bought chocolate here and took it to the New Years party 8-)

- Wow, there is no place to sit down here!

- How many Ukrainians can you fit inside one Komode?

Paula told me that that is enough for now. We will return to substance tomorrow.

14 Years Old Forever,
Ande

I'm going to make sure Todd reads this post. I often tell him that I'll be so glad when he graduates from 8th grade. :)

Ande... We are feeling a little flushed after laughing at all your jokes! Whew!

There are so many more brother... so glad you dropped a few off for us all to share!

Any one who has ever done ministry with Youth will appreciate all the cracks! :)

You are so funny!

Hey Ande and Paula, I guess you were all "pooped" after so much time at the Comode! I can't believe I am joining into this kind of talk! Love ya, Karen T.

Chris and Vickie Nichols and family said...

Happy New Year! Glad you and the Graces are getting to spend some time together. What a blessing that you are there with others going through the same journey. We look forward to seeing everyone home soon!!! Blessings, The Nichols

ok Papa Ande, just thought you should know, your joke is still ongoing with the kids at the orphanage. Chris got them started when we were there with them Sunday, and they were laughing it up about the COMODE. Chris (and I know your wife too) can't wait to be with you and the kids!
