Sorry - never heard of it.  Going back to the question about children's books, I love, love, love the Phantom Tollbooth.  An all-time favorite along with The Giving Tree and The Little Prince.


The person below me knows that:

"If you please--draw me a sheep!"

"What!"

"Draw me a sheep!"

...is an invitation to a story of beauty and depth and tragedy.

Nope.  However, since everyone is answering way back questions, I will too!  :laugh:

True! I think so anyway...well I am one of those people who thinks that sometimes rules are made to be broken!

The person below me loves thunderstorms(finds them slightly romantic) and will run around in them if given half a chance.

There was a really beautiful one here a couple of hours ago: amazing oranges and pinks streaked the sky and clashed with the grey as the lightning danced across the sky and then evetually struck down to earth, but no rain! I knew that rain dance wouldn't work! ;D

The person below me doesn't spend as much time on here as they would like to.

True at the moment actually. And that's because my kids are on holiday and so am I, and I have decided to spend time with them  ;D, so less on here till September!

The person below me knew the answer to Yaadpyar's question even though they didn't answer because they thought it was too late:

"S'il te plaît, dessine-moi un mouton"

"Quoi!"

"Dessine-moi un mouton"

Le Petit Prince - Antoine de St Exupéry
(Quite easy to guess even if you've never learnt French, so there you have it in its original version :))

I wouldn't say I'm fluent, but I had 4 years of French in high school (and I'm only about to start my second year of college, so that wasn't too long ago!). Senior year we read Le Petit Prince in French.  8)


The person below me likes little kids.

I think little kids are wonderful......so innocent and trusting, I have five grandchildren who love me unconditionally and they bring a great deal of joy to my life.


The person below me has a TV show that they just CANT miss......

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Yes, and it's on the (only)* intelligent* free tv channel we get in France: Arte (French-German channel), and the programme's called Karambolage; they take a German or French word/expression and tell its history (I love etymology), and also talk about the differences between Germany and France, and there is a lot of humor.

The person below me likes vodka.
