We attended a sunrise Easter service this Sunday. At the end of praying for the community and the world, we put flowers on the cross after the sun rises. Turning a symbol of death into a symbol of life, like Christ did.
During one of the songs we sang "Lord of heaven and earth"... and our son quipped in under his breath "and mars....."

Today during work, a friend of ours (and partner) visiting from the U.S. needed to go off with a national co-worker to do some work.
Hisile, said to Bob "yu laik drivim ka bilong yu o bilong mi"
Bob replied "huh?"
it took me a second to realize Hisile was speaking Tok Pisin so I translated, Bob said 'let's take your car' as they headed off I said in tok pisin to Hisile
"Hisile, Bob only knows a little tok pisin, so speak to him in english"
he replied
"okay Bob, I shall talk to you in broken English...hahahahaha."
I thought that was pretty funny.... I felt bad for putting the two of them together and having them drive off without a translator, but I'm sure they'll work it out.
