Just for laughs, I ran today's Worthy-Speak through Google translator into Korean:
Jeff: 고양이 알레르기를 수락 해 주셔서 감사합니다. 네가 리비를 좋아한다는 걸 알아.To get a sense of how much Google Translate struggles with Worthy-Speak, I then translated it into English.
Mary: 그녀는 지금 에스텔과 함께 있고 모든 당사자는 행복합니다.
Jeff: Thank you for accepting allergies to cats. I know you like Libby.Color me impressed.
Mary: She is now with Estelle and all parties are happy.
As Myster Wynter should have taught you, Mary, no pet lives forever. Libby won't find her forever home until you send her over the Rainbow Bridge.
I'm having a little trouble knowing how to answer Libby's question. It really all depends on her tone. If she's asking "Meow?" as in a sincere "I'm not?" then the answer is a simple, "No, you are not." But if she's defiant in her tone, such as "Why not?" then Mary will need to explain about the bacteria on Libby's paws lingering from her recent litter box visit, and how cats should never walk on food preparation surfaces. Knowing Libby, I don't think she's going to like that answer at all.
"I can't tell Jeff to stay away. Heaven knows I've tried."
Sometimes this blog writes itself.
Actually, it doesn't write itself, as you've no doubt noticed that I've missed posting on quite a few days. We hosted Thanksgiving this year, work has gotten very busy, and my oldest daughter is getting married later this month... so the Wanders family has been a little bit busy. I do intend to get the Worthy Award nominations posted by Christmas, and after that, my life should be back to normal in January just in time to host the Awards Ceremony. Thanks to everyone who keeps this blog going, even when I'm not around. So while this blog doesn't write itself, I do feel that it is written by all of us; not just me. Thanks everyone, and happy holidays!
Now you can't tell me that after 20 years of dating, Mary was unaware of Jeff's cat allergy. I mean, we all figured it out in about five seconds. We're on to you, Mary, and all I can say is, "Well played."
Please tell me that's the Charterstone Reader's edition of Outlander - with the sex scenes tastefully removed.
