I just *knew* Latin would come in handy!

Macy and I are learning Latin together and I have to say it is pretty interesting. Words that sounded so, er, foreign to me now make sense: declensions, and all that :>)

Yesterday, tears in our eyes from laughing so hard, we came up with a phrase that in our house is sure to come in handy.

So, "Magnus Malus Ventus," welcome to our family vernacular!

P.S. If you need a hint, ventus means wind.

Here's another one for you:
Ubi Sub ubi Meus sub ubi.

According to a friend in college, it roughly translates Where oh where is my underwear.

That's great!! Now, to get my kids to wear underwear...

Actually, that would translate as "Under where is my under where". Latin for underwear is "interulus". Sorry.
