For your entertainment pleasure

In Twi class we have learned a few simple songs, primarily children's songs... like this one:

Kyerε wo ti
Kyerε w'aso
Kyerε w'ani
Wo hwene, w'ano, wo kכn.
Me wo nsa mienu
Afuru keseε
Nan mienu.
Me nsateaa yε du
Me nansoaa nso yε du.

Show your head
Show your ears
Show your eyes
Your nose, your mouth, your neck.
I have 2 hands
A big belly
And 2 legs.
My fingers are 10
My toes also are 10.

Jessica, great job! Tho you don't really have a big belly, you looked good touching your toes. You are doing an amazing job in Ghana. Maybe some of the extra things add to a daily grind like many people live with in the work place. We leave for Florida on Thursday so I will check in with you when we get back. You will be with us in spirit, and in tales from your blogs and phone conversations. Much love, JNH

Maybe you can teach this to sunday school or children's church when you get back! That is a great way to learn the language -- and fun. We are all home at the moment. Chet and Dad are playing Othello...before rel8 tonight. Hud is just watching and pestering them :) What a great idea to send a video. I will let the other parents know it is here. Love you so much! the Mom
