Thanks for dropping by and c...@ Pinay in Dutchland<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and commenting.<br />About Labourday... Yes that's exactly the same explaination i got at my work place when on this labour day i asked innocently... ohh don't we have a holiday on Labour day??? hehehe<br /><br />About movies and kids, Yes i have also seen it, May be compared to other countries... here they consider kids mature at early age or may be they really get mature at early age!!<br /><br />Wait for some 15 years and then may be i will be able to comment on this, when my future kids might turn 12 ;)~ Lopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10298537040908969550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715106087451677676.post-69255207636575979242009-07-16T10:42:46.092+02:002009-07-16T10:42:46.092+02:00ahahaha these are all true and are all funny. BTW,...ahahaha these are all true and are all funny. BTW, I asked MK abt Labor Day being a non-holiday and the Dutch reason is "It's Labor Day and people should be laboring (working)". Isn't that very Dutch?<br /><br />And oh, I want to add to it. I watched an R-Rated movie (or was it an X) and in the Netherlands, 12 year old kids are allowed to watch it.
