Pffff ..My dear Bahamas people, I need a pillow and a blanket! That would be enough! |

I �ve just googled Bahamas. It �s A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! 
@SSylv: you live wherever you want as long as you have enough imagination! I am currently living in Bahamas. On the beach, under a palm tree.
I have a question: do people in Bahamas work? (I think it �s like working in Heaven, and in Heaven nobody works! ) |

Wooooooow, you inspired me too! I have always loved the name Burkina Faso, it sounds like a woman �s name. Maybe I should change my name to Burkina? What do you say?
Edit: And now I am the best eslprintables user from Burkina Faso!

Hello M�a,
Back to the difference between children and kids.
Kids is an American expression, less formal. Your daugther �s teacher is partially right, my American friends always call their daugther and son "kids" because it is informal and there is a touch of tender motherly feeling in the word "kids", I think.
In my opinion, I would use "children" while talking about children in general or about grown-up daughters/sons...
Czech mothers sometimes call their children "chicks" or "chickens" and I believe it is close to the American "kids". My mum used to call me and my sister "pipinky" = "my dear little chicks".
BTW your daugther �s teacher is really strange... the meanings of those two words are so close. She really shouldn �t have corrected it...
Both expressions are ok...

I �m off with a big smile on my face- Thank you. & Bless you  ;o))) |
