The Sharpest Chin in the World

  His eyebrows are long, his nose hair is longer, and

 his nose is the longest in the world.

His armpits are smelly, his farts are smellier, and

  his breath is the smelliest in the world.

His cheeks are fat, his legs are fatter and

 his tummy is the fattest in the world.

His elbows are sharp, his nails are sharper, and

  his chin is the sharpest in the whole world,

But

  his silly faces are funny, his silly noises are funnier, and his jokes are the funniest in the whole world.

So

  I’m still glad that he’s my Dad.

Winter holiday in Finland

Finland is such a nice place to go on winter holidays. The winter there is so mild and welcoming! You can do snowboarding, skating, skiing or any other winter sport, there are so many possibilities.

We found such a lovely hotel, and it was such a short walk to the skiing slope. Well, winter season in Finland is not so cheap as we expected, but we had such a great time there. It is so tempting to come there every winter, again and again.
