Lost in Translation!

This is the first picture we took of Yonas, Ruby, & Silas in Ethipia! They were able to pick out their favorite clothes to wear. In classic Ruby style she decided to dress in layers (that girl LOVES to wear a jacket and she loves to be warm). Underneath her pink long-sleeved shirt was a sweatshirt. I think it is hilarious when things are not quite translated correctly. It was not until I got back to the states that I bothered to read the writing on the shirt! Take a look:



So in case you can not read it... this is what the shirt says:

5 Beauty
tho boauty ins thank you
how aro you do you lika
MUSH MAKE AN APOLOGY FOR LOSINGTIMEES
THERE IS NO REASON TO APOLOGIXES
LITTLE GUT WE BROUGHT FOR YOURS!
I like how it says "lika" because that is how Ruby speaks!
and "the Little Gut we brought for yours" cracks me up!
Anyway, just thought you would enjoy this little tidbit!

You need to post this on the Engrish website! Most of their posts are Chinese or Japanses "translations", so this one could really add variety.
