Do you have a donkey bench?

Before we get to the real point of this blog, I have two quick things... first, Branimir took the pictures I posted on my last blog... he takes great pictures, and I'm thankful he sends them to me since I don't have a digital camera. Second, I got the best birthday package ever from my mom and dad today - woohoo! It was so good I'll even forgive them for sending me poison peanut butter (I always knew they liked my brother and sister better). I can't decide if I like the two big bottles of tobasco sauce or the two packages of socks or any of the many fun surprises they threw in the best... it's a toss up. I'm so excited to wear new socks tomorrow!

OK, on to the point of the blog. Before church started Sunday, Daniel and Visnja and I were talking. Daniel looked at me and asked me a question in Croatian... I apparently proceeded to give him one of my best "What the heck did you just say?" looks because he started to repeat the question in English. But I stopped him and said... "Daniel... I know every single word in that sentence you just said, but I have no idea what they mean together!" So then Daniel explained to me what he was asking, and I was able to answer the question... And we were also able to laugh about it, cause the whole conversation was just really funny. But, that's one of my biggest frustrations of the language - I know all the words but they make no sense when you put them together. I mean, think about it. If English wasn't your first language and someone came up to you and said "Wow, I'm rolling in the dough today!" wouldn't you expect to see a flour covered, kind of sticky person standing next to you??

So I leave you with Daniel's question to me - let's see if you can come up with the correct answer (and if your last name is Pedroni, or you've lived or are living in Croatia, give other people a chance to answer first!)

"So, in America, do you have donkey benches in your schools??"
