I would love to translate sparklemoose Barbie's opinions. My brothers forward my sister's texts to me to translate for them all the time. I also have a friend who is French Canadian, I am her "official" translator.

The only problem I see with that is, rulings would be delayed until I stopped laughing. I am still laughing over my sister saying her son has an awesome soup, should he wear it when we go to the military bowling or should he get Tucks?

My son has an awesome suit, should he wear it when we go to the Military Ball, or should he get a tux?
