How did Mariah and I end up in a heated week-long argument with Austria about the pros and cons of circumcision? It's a mystery, but I do believe that Austria started it.
Because Austria LOVES to argue. About foreskin. At dinner. I mean, who doesn't?
Here's more or less how the conversation went:
Hannah (happily)- "Nacho day is my favorite day of all the days!"
Mariah- "I agree. Nacho day rocks."
Austria- "Let's talk about... circumcision."
With that fateful subject change, an all out Facebook war ensued with both sides finding reputable links to support their side. Mariah and I found articles in a medical journal of pediatric health and on CNN.com while Austria chose to go with a comprehensive and unbiased article from homiegfunk.com, a site which although not medically accreditted, has far more street cred than either of our sources.
Dinner's in a half a hour. I suspect the war will continue.
To be honest, I don't really care either way; I'm banking on having girls.

my goodness.
I think Austrians are usually too prude to talk about penises anyway. So J. is doing a good job in America: pretending that it's "normal" to talk about such topics.. :D
but I think I'm not gonna tell mum.
;)
oh. this was Kathi. :)
but I guess you already know..
Hahaha. I think he was mad at us yesterday. He didn't go to dinner; he stayed back to write a response to my assult on penises.
i dont countinue this "war" here... because it is no war. i already had people respond to me that they liked the discussion on my facebook status because they didnt know about curcumcision.
which shows it was worth it
thank you
