Gala: that is an easy one.

- The reason Aleks said that he burned his hand: "The fire walked on my hand then it died. Then there was some dim (smoke) and it died. It walked on my eye too. " He has a little burn under his eye too.

Jen, that is too funny about Al not speaking Russian to you. This spring I had the following conversation with a 6-yr-old here in the RFE, David, whose mom is American and dad is Russian (he speaks both languages flawlessly):
David: Шерил, знаешь что?
me: Что, Дейвид?
David: Надо научить тебя хорошо говорить по-русски.
me (удивлена): Да?
David: Да, ты чуть плохо говоришь!
