    I would speak the language of mice. Male Mice. They actually sing like songbirds at a frequency we can not hear. His name would be Mickey Mouse.

  • I was kind of thinking that too. So I could be like Cinderella. That way if I lose my shoe at midnight they won’t think I’m drunk. Just a future princess who talks to mice while I sweep and stuff.

  • It’s a good  name... it sounds like a woman could order in a mail order bride catolog.... not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    Spanish so that I could find out what the Spanish speaking DJ says at the beginning of the song Mexican Radio by Wall of Voodoo - I'm not good at remembering names so I would probably call my translator Buddy. Cheers!

    That's OK there are lots of songs I could have translated like that La Bamba one by Ritchie Valens. Cheers!

    I was learning a bit of Chinese from a lady who moved here from China that I became friends with and we used to do some shopping in Chinatown here -she would translate packaged stuff for me imported from China. Her name is Mimi.
