Portuguese lessons

Ezra and Ned's favorite housekeeper has been teaching us Portuguese. So far we have learned: Cao (pronounced cou)= dog, Gato (gatoo) = cat, Maluca (maloocu) = crazy, but cute (Guida can't remember Ned's name and just uses Maluca. Guida loves Ned. She shares her lunch with her. And when she fills Ned's bowl, she also puts a dog treat on top of the food. More crazy then cute today, Ned broke into the trash, ate rotten pasta salad and yakked it up all over Guida's freshly mopped floor. Ezra is a Menino (meninoo), little boy.

Guida remains very concerned that I don't wear shoes around the house. She's insistent that it will make me less attractive for my husband some how. (I also heard her muttering "oh baby.... Mama forgot to close the door, so bad.... In my defense it's a warm day.)
